Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for the people have fallen through your iniquities.

Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech.

Turn, you children of Israel, who devise a deep and sinful counsel.

Seek the Lord, and when you find Him, call upon Him; and when He draws near to you,

let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels; and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for He shall abundantly pardon your sins.

Turn, you children that have revolted, says the Lord; for I will rule over you. And I will take you, one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Zion.

And it shall come to pass that when you are multiplied and increased upon the land, says the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the Covenant of the Holy One of Israel. It shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] be done anymore.

In those days the house of Judah shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit.

But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against Me, says the Lord.

Turn, you children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be Your servants; for You are the Lord our God.

MEM. Why should a living man complain, a man concerning his sin?

Let us lift up our hearts with our hand to the lofty One in heaven.

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.

And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord Almighty: Turn to Me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of hosts.

Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

but to those first in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, proclaiming that they must repent and turn to God, and do works worthy of repentance.

Hear the word of the Lord, you children of Israel: for the Lord [has] a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

To do justly and to speak truth are more pleasing to God than the blood of sacrifices.

Wash, and be clean; remove your iniquities from your souls before My eyes; cease from your iniquities;

I have not chosen such a fast, says the Lord; but do you loose every burden of iniquity, do you untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account?

Shall you reign because you are provoked with your father Ahaz? They shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for you to execute justice and righteousness.

But let judgment roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable torrent.

Has it not been told you, O man, what is good? Or what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and love mercy, and be ready to walk with the Lord your God?

Thus says the Lord Almighty; Judge righteous judgment, and deal mercifully and compassionately, everyone with his brother,

These are the things which you shall do: speak truth everyone with his neighbor; judge truth and peaceable judgment in your gates:

Pure and undefiled religion before God and [the] Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

For judgment is without mercy to the one who does not show mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

waiting for the salvation of the Lord.

Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened; yea, wait on the Lord!

Submit yourself to the Lord, and make supplication to Him; do not fret because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.

Behold, as the eyes of servants [are directed] to the hands of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes [are directed] to the Lord our God, until He has mercy upon us.

for Your name's sake have I waited for You, O Lord, my soul has waited for Your word.

Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord is mercy, and with Him is abundant redemption.

And [one] shall say, I will wait for God, who has turned away His face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in Him.

And the Lord will again wait, that He may pity you, and will therefore be exalted that He may have mercy upon you; because the Lord your God is a Judge; blessed are they that wait on Him.

but they that wait on God shall renew [their] strength; they shall put forth new feathers like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.

TETH. The Lord is good to them that wait for Him; the soul which shall seek Him

is good, and shall wait for, and quietly expect salvation from the Lord.

For the vision is yet for a time, and it shall shoot forth at the end, and not in vain: though he should tarry, wait for him; for he will surely come, and will not tarry.

Therefore wait upon Me, says the Lord, until the day when I rise up for a witness: because My judgment shall be on the gatherings of the nations, to draw to Me kings, to pour out upon them all My fierce anger: for the whole earth shall be consumed with the fire of My jealousy.
