Take words with you and return to Yahweh.
Say to Him, “(A)Forgive all iniquity
And [a]take what is good,
That we may (B)pay in full [b]the fruit of our lips.
Assyria will not save us;
We will (C)not ride on horses,
Nor will we say again, ‘(D)Our god,’
To the (E)work of our hands;
For in (F)You the [c]orphan finds compassion.”

I will (G)heal their turning away from Me;
I will (H)love them freely,
For My anger has (I)turned away from them.
