Take words with you and return to the Lord.
Say to Him, “(A)Take away all guilt
And [a]receive us graciously,
So that we may (B)present [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 mercy.”

I will (G)heal their apostasy,
I will (H)love them freely,
Because My anger has (I)turned away from them.
