And there you will serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

When you are in distress, and all these things have come upon you in the latter days; then when you have returned unto Jehovah your God and have obeyed His voice

but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though you were cast out to the ends of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place where I have chosen to establish My name.

Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

for though He causes grief, yet He will have compassion according to the multitude of His kindness.

Let us search out and examine our ways, and return to Jehovah.

Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek Jehovah their God and David their king. And they shall fear Jehovah and His goodness in the latter days.

Come, and let us return to Jehovah. For He has torn, and He will heal us. He has stricken, and He will bind us up.

After two days He will restore us to life. In the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His presence.

O Israel, return to Jehovah your God, for you have stumbled by your iniquity.

Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride on horses. We shall not say any more to the work of our hands, You are our gods! For in You the fatherless finds mercy.

Yet even now turn to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning, declares Jehovah.

So, tear your heart, and not your garments; and return to Jehovah your God. For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and He has compassion concerning the evil.

And I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and supplication. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they shall be bitter over Him, like the bitterness over the firstborn.

Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart, with all your soul, exceedingly in every way.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for Jehovah your God is testing you to know whether you love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

And the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they had offered willingly unto Jehovah; and King David also rejoiced with great joy.

I know also, my God, that You examine the heart and take pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now with joy I have seen Your people who are found here, to offer willingly to You.

As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, and set me before Your face forever.

Let my heart be whole regarding Your Statutes, that I may not be ashamed.

And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not returned to Me with her whole heart, but in pretense, says Jehovah.

O Jerusalem, wash your heart from evil so that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?

And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
