And return to the Lord.
Say to Him,
“Take away all iniquity;
Receive us graciously,
For we will offer the asacrifices of our lips.
bWe will not ride on horses,
Nor will we say anymore to the work of our hands, ‘You are our gods.’
cFor in You the fatherless finds mercy.”
He shall1 grow like the lily,
And1 lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
aHis beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And bhis fragrance like Lebanon.
They shall be revived like grain,
And1 grow like a vine.
Their1 scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
I have heard and observed him.
I am like a green cypress tree;
aYour fruit is found in Me.”
Let him understand these things.
Who is prudent?
Let him know them.
For athe ways of the Lord are right;
The righteous walk in them,
But transgressors stumble in them.
