14:1 Return,
O
Israel,
to
the
LORD
your
God,
for
you
have
stumbled
because
of
your
iniquity.
14:2 Take
with
you
words
and
return
to
the
LORD;
say
to
him,
"Take
away
all
iniquity;
accept
what
is
good,
and
we
will
pay
with
bulls
the
vows
of
our
lips.
14:3 Assyria
shall
not
save
us;
we
will
not
ride
on
horses;
and
we
will
say
no
more,
'Our
God,'
to
the
work
of
our
hands.
In
you
the
orphan
finds
mercy."
14:4 I
will
heal
their
apostasy;
I
will
love
them
freely,
for
my
anger
has
turned
from
them.
14:5 I
will
be
like
the
dew
to
Israel;
he
shall
blossom
like
the
lily;
he
shall
take
root
like
the
trees
of
Lebanon;
14:6 his
shoots
shall
spread
out;
his
beauty
shall
be
like
the
olive,
and
his
fragrance
like
Lebanon.
14:7 They
shall
return
and
dwell
beneath
my
shadow;
they
shall
flourish
like
the
grain;
they
shall
blossom
like
the
vine;
their
fame
shall
be
like
the
wine
of
Lebanon.
14:8 O
Ephraim,
what
have
I
to
do
with
idols
It
is
I
who
answer
and
look
after
you.
I
am
like
an
evergreen
cypress;
from
me
comes
your
fruit.
14:9 Whoever
is
wise,
let
him
understand
these
things;
whoever
is
discerning,
let
him
know
them;
for
the
ways
of
the
LORD
are
right,
and
the
upright
walk
in
them,
but
transgressors
stumble
in
them.
