- Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity.
- Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to Him, "Take away all iniquity And receive us graciously, That we may present the fruit of our lips.
- "Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, 'Our god,' To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy."
- I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them.
- I will be like the dew to Israel; He will blossom like the lily, And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

- Assyria cannot save us; we will not mount war-horses. We will never again say 'Our gods' to what our own hands have made, for in you the fatherless find compassion."
- "I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away from them.
- I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon he will send down his roots;
