21 A voice was heard on athe desolate heights,
Weeping and supplications of the children of Israel.
For they have perverted their way;
They have forgotten the Lord their God.

They have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 “Return, you backsliding children,
And I will aheal your backslidings.”
“Indeed we do come to You,
For You are the Lord our God.
And I will aheal your backslidings.”
“Indeed we do come to You,
For You are the Lord our God.
23 aTruly, in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills,
And from the multitude of mountains;
bTruly, in the Lord our God
Is the salvation of Israel.
And from the multitude of mountains;
bTruly, in the Lord our God
Is the salvation of Israel.
