Hosea 14:2-4

International Standard Version

‘Take away all our^[a] iniquity,
    and accept what is good.
Then we will present the fruit^[b] of our lips.
³ Assyria won’t save us;
    we won’t be riding on horses,
Nor will we be saying anymore to the work of our hands,
    “You are^[c] our God.”
        Indeed, in you the orphan finds mercy.’

⁴ “I will correct their apostasy,
    loving them freely,
        since my anger will have turned away from them.^[d]
