1Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.

Heb 13.15. Take with you words
and return to the Lord;
say to him,
“Take away all iniquity;
accept that which is good
and we will render
the fruit#14.2 Gk Syr: Heb bulls of our lips.
3Assyria shall not save us,
we will not ride upon horses;
and we will say no more, ‘Our God,’
to the work of our hands.
In thee the orphan finds mercy.”
4I will heal their faithlessness;
I will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
5I will be as the dew to Israel;
he shall blossom as the lily,
he shall strike root as the poplar;#14.5 Cn: Heb Lebanon
6his shoots shall spread out;
his beauty shall be like the olive,
and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7They shall return and dwell beneath my#14.7 Heb his shadow,
they shall flourish as a garden;#14.7 Cn: Heb they shall grow grain
they shall blossom as the vine,
their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
8O Ephraim, what have I to do with idols?
It is I who answer and look after you.#14.8 Heb him
I am like an evergreen cypress,
from me comes your fruit.

Acts 13.10. Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
whoever is discerning, let him know them;
for the ways of the Lord are right,
and the upright walk in them,
but transgressors stumble in them.
