I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

Return, O backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come to You; for You are Jehovah our God.

Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the healing of the daughter of my people not come?

Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed, save me, and I shall be saved; for You are my praise.

Behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will heal them and will show them the abundance of peace and truth.

But when Jesus heard it, He said to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

Jehovah did not set His love upon you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples;

but because Jehovah loves you, and to keep the oath which He has sworn to your fathers, Jehovah has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people and hang them before Jehovah in broad daylight, that the burning anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel.

And in that day you shall say, O Jehovah, I will praise You; though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
