141O Israel, return unto Jehovah thyGod; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.+2Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah; say unto him, Forgive all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously; so will we render the calves of our lips.+3Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Thou art] ourGod; because in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.+
A Promise of God’s Blessing
4I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.+5I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.+6His shoots shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.+7They shall return and sit under his shadow; they shall revive [as] corn, and blossom as the vine: the renown thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.+8Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? (I answer [him], and I will observe him.) I am like a green fir-tree. — From me is thy fruit found.+9Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? intelligent, and he shall know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors shall fall therein.+
