[1] Israel, return to Yahweh your God;
for you have fallen because of your sin.
[2] Take words with you, and return to Yahweh.
Tell him, “Forgive all our sins,
and accept that which is good;
so we offer bulls as we vowed of our lips.
[3] Assyria can’t save us.
We won’t ride on horses;
neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’
for in you the fatherless finds mercy.” [4] “I will heal their waywardness.
I will love them freely;
for my anger is turned away from them.
[5] I will be like the dew to Israel.
He will blossom like the lily,
and send down his roots like Lebanon.
[6] His branches will spread,
and his beauty will be like the olive tree,
and his fragrance like Lebanon.
[7] Men will dwell in his shade.
They will revive like the grain,
and blossom like the vine.
Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
[8] Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols?
I answer, and will take care of him.
I am like a green cypress tree;
from me your fruit is found.” [9] Who is wise, that he may understand these things?
Who is prudent, that he may know them?
For the ways of Yahweh are right,
and the righteous walk in them,
but the rebellious stumble in them.
King James Version

Return, O Israel!

[1] O Israel, H3478 return H7725 unto H5704 the Lord H3068 thy God; H430 for H3588 thou hast fallen H3782 by thine iniquity. H5771 [2] Take H3947 with H5973 you words, H1697 and turn H7725 to the Lord: H3068 say H559 unto H413 him, Take away H5375 all H3605 iniquity, H5771 and receive H3947 us graciously: H2896§ so will we render H7999 the calves H6499 of our lips. H8193 [3] Asshur H804 shall H3467 not H3808 save H3467 us; we will not ride H7392 upon H5921 horses: H5483 neither will we say H559 any more to the work H4639 of our hands, H3027 Ye are our gods: H430 for in thee the fatherless H3490 findeth mercy. H7355 [4] I will heal H7495 their backsliding, H4878 I will love H157 them freely: H5071 for H3588 mine anger H639 is turned away H7725 from him. [5] I will be as the dew H2919 unto Israel: H3478 he shall grow H6524§ as the lily, H7799 and cast forth H5221§ his roots H8328 as Lebanon. H3844 [6] His branches H3127 shall spread, H3212§ and his beauty H1935 shall be as the olive tree, H2132 and his smell H7381 as Lebanon. H3844 [7] They that dwell H3427 under his shadow H6738 shall return; H7725 they shall revive H2421 as the corn, H1715 and grow H6524§ as the vine: H1612 the scent H2143 thereof shall be as the wine H3196 of Lebanon. H3844 [8] Ephraim H669 shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? H6091 I have heard H6030 him, and observed H7789 him: I am like a green H7488 fir tree. H1265 From H4480 me is thy fruit H6529 found. H4672 [9] Who is wise, H2450 and he shall understand H995 these things? prudent, H995 and he shall know H3045 them? for the ways H1870 of the Lord H3068 are right, H3477 and the just H6662 shall walk H3212 in them: but the transgressors H6586 shall fall H3782 therein.
