This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
14 Yisrael (Israel), return to your god Yahweh,
because you’ve stumbled as a result of your iniquity.
2 Prepare what you’re going to say and return to Yahweh.
Tell him, “Take away all our disobedience and accept what is good,
so that we can offer praise from our lips.
3 Ashur (Assyria) can’t save us.
Nor will we say, ‘Our god,’ again to anything that we’ve made ourselves
because this fatherless nation finds compassion in you.”
4 “I will heal their waywardness.
because my anger has turned away from them.
5 To Yisrael (Israel), I will be like the dew.
He will blossom like a lily flower
≈ and take root like a cedar tree in Levanon.
His beauty will be like that of olive trees,
≈ and his fragrance like the cedars in Levanon.
7 Those who live in Yisrael’s shadow will return.
They will revive like the grain
and blossom like the grapevine.
His fame will be like the wine of Levanon.
8 Yisrael (Israel; Heb. Efrayim), what more do I have to do with idols?
It’s me who answer and look after him.
14:9 Conclusion
9 Let those who are wise, understand these things.
≈ Anyone who’s discerning, let them know them
because Yahweh’s ways are right,
and righteous people will follow them,
but transgressors will stumble in them.
