O Israel, come back! Return to your God!You’re down but you’re not out.Prepare your confessionand come back to God.Pray to him, “Take away our sin,accept our confession.Receive as restitutionour repentant prayers.Assyria won’t save us;horses won’t get us where we want to go.We’ll never again say ‘our god’to something we’ve made or made up.You’re our last hope. Is it not truethat in you the orphan finds mercy?”
