Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for Your mercy's sake.

O God of hosts, turn, we pray; look on [us] from heaven, and behold and visit this vine;

And it shall come to pass, after I have cast them out, [that] I will return and have mercy upon them, and will cause them to dwell everyone in his inheritance, and everyone in his land.

and tear your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for He is merciful and compassionate, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy, and relenting of evil.

Who knows if He will return, and repent, and leave a blessing behind Him, even a grain offering and a drink offering to the Lord your God?

Therefore thus says the Lord: I will return to Jerusalem with compassion; and My house shall be rebuilt in her, says the Lord Almighty, and a measuring line shall yet be stretched out over Jerusalem.

How long, O Lord? Will You turn away, forever? Shall Your anger flame out as fire?

And He remembered His covenant, and relented according to the multitude of His mercy.

For the Lord shall judge His people, and comfort Himself concerning His servants.

And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve His people.

For the Lord shall judge His people, and shall be comforted over His servants; for He saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and have become feeble.

How shall I deal with you, O Ephraim? [How] shall I protect you, O Israel? What shall I do with you? I will make you as Adamah, and as Zeboiim; My heart is turned at once, My repentance is powerfully excited.

Relent, O Lord, of this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.

This also shall not be, says the Lord.

Who knows if God will relent, and turn from His fierce anger, and so we shall not perish?
