14 Come back to your God, O Israel,
for your faults have made you fall.
2 Take words, as you come back to the Eternal,
and say to him:
“All our iniquities forgive,
and grant us now thy favour;
let us bring thee flocks of the fold–
3c for in thee the forlorn finds pity.
3a Assyria never can save us;
we will not take to war-horses for aid,
3b and we will say no more ‘My God’
to what our hands have made.”
4 I will heal them from their hurt of sin,
I will love them freely,
now mine anger has turned from them.
5 I will be like dew to Israel;
he shall blossom like a lily,
and strike roots down like a poplar;
6 his branches shall spread out,
his leaves fresh as an olive’s,
his scent like the scent of incense.
7 Once more shall they live underneath my shadow,
well-watered like a garden,
flourishing like a vine,
and fragrant as Lebânon’s wine.
8 What more has Ephraim to do with idols?
’Twas I who humbled him,
’tis I who will protect him.
I am like a cypress evergreen:
his welfare ever comes from me.
9 [[Mark this, you who are wise,
note this, you men of sense.
The Eternal deals justly with all;
the upright fare well under him,
but sinners fall.]]
