Israel, return to YAHWEH! Come back to your true God, for your sins have become your downfall. Repent! Choose the words of your confession and come back to YAHWEH. Say to him, “Take all my guilt away; be gracious to us and receive us. Instead of animal sacrifices, we offer to you the praises of our lips. Assyria will not be our savior; you will. No longer will we trust in our military might. We will not call our handmade idols ‘our god.’ For in you, the orphan finds tender mercy.” YAHWEH “I will heal you of your unfaithfulness. I will love you with all my heart, for my anger has turned away from you. My presence will fall like refreshing dew on Israel. My people will blossom as the fair lily and become firmly rooted as the cedars of Lebanon. My people will spread out like the beautiful branches of olive trees and carry the desirable scent of Lebanon’s cedars. They will come back to live beneath the shadow of my blessing. They will flourish like a sunlit field of wheat and thrive as a blossoming vine. Their wine will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon.
