* O Israel Yisra #el #, return unto the LORD thy God ; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity . * Take with you words , and turn to the LORD : say unto him , Take away all iniquity , and receive us graciously : so will we render the calves of our lips . * Asshur shall not save us ; we will not ride upon horses : neither will we say any more to the work of our hands , Ye are our gods : for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy . * I will heal their backsliding , I will love them freely : for mine anger is turned away from him . * I will be as the dew unto Israel Yisra #el #: he shall grow as the lily , and cast forth his roots as Lebanon . * His branches shall spread , and his beauty shall be as the olive tree , and his smell as Lebanon . * They that dwell under his shadow shall return ; they shall revive as the corn , and grow as the vine : the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon . * Ephraim shall say , What have I to do any more with idols ? I have heard him , and observed him : I am like a green fir tree . From me is thy fruit found . * Who is wise , and he shall understand these things ? prudent , and he shall know them ? for the ways of the LORD are right , and the just shall walk in them : but the transgressors shall fall therein .
