A Call to Repentance

(Jeremiah 3:11–25; Zechariah 1:1–6)

1ReturnH7725, O IsraelH3478, toH5704 the LORDH3068 your GodH430,forH3588 you have stumbledH3782 by your iniquityH5771.2BringH3947 yourH5973 confessionsH1697and returnH7725 toH413 the LORDH3068.SayH559 to HimH413: “Take awayH5375 allH3605 our iniquityH5771and receiveH3947 us graciouslyH2896,that we may presentH7999the fruitH6499 of our lipsH8193.1

A Promise of God’s Blessing

3AssyriaH804 will notH3808 save usH3467, nor will weH3808 rideH7392 onH5921 horsesH5483. We will never againH3808H5750 sayH559, ‘Our godsH430!’ to the workH4639 of our own handsH3027.

ForH834 in You the fatherlessH3490 find compassionH7355.”
4I will healH7495 their apostasyH4878;I will freelyH5071 love themH157,forH3588 My angerH639 has turned awayH7725 from themH4480.5I will beH1961 like the dewH2919 to IsraelH3478;he will blossomH6524 like the lilyH7799and takeH5221 rootH8328 like the cedars of LebanonH3844.6His shootsH3127 will sproutH1980,and his splendorH1935 will beH1961 like the olive treeH2132,his fragranceH7381 like the cedars of LebanonH3844.7They will returnH7725 and dwellH3427 in his shadeH6738;they will growH2421 grainH1715 and blossomH6524 like the vineH1612.His renown will beH2143 like the wineH3196 of LebanonH3844.
8O EphraimH669,2 whatH4100 have I to doanymoreH5750 with idolsH6091?It is IH589 who answerH6030 and watch over himH7789.I am likeH589 a flourishingH7488 cypressH1265;3your fruitH6529 comesH4672 from MeH4480.
9WhoeverH4310 is wiseH2450, let him understandH995 these thingsH428;whoever is discerningH995, let him know themH3045.ForH3588 the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477,and the righteousH6662 walkH1980 in thembut the rebelliousH6586 stumbleH3782 in them.
