A Call to Repentance
‘Return, backsliding Israel,’ says the Lord;
‘I will not cause My anger to fall on you.
For I am bmerciful,’ says the Lord;
‘I will not remain angry forever.
That you have transgressed against the Lord your God,
And have bscattered your charms
To calien deities dunder every green tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,’ says the Lord.
