1. Return to the Lord your God, people of Israel. Your sin has made you stumble and fall.
2. Return to the Lord, and let this prayer be your offering to him: “Forgive all our sins and accept our prayer, and we will praise you as we have promised.
3. Assyria can never save us, and war horses cannot protect us. We will never again say to our idols that they are our God. O Lord, you show mercy to those who have no one else to turn to.”
4. The Lord says,“I will bring my people back to me.I will love them with all my heart;no longer am I angry with them.
