3 Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.
4 Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.
5 I will put right their errors; freely will my love be given to them, for my wrath is turned away from him.
6 I will be as the dew to Israel; he will put out flowers like a lily, and send out his roots like Lebanon.
7 His branches will be stretched out, he will be beautiful as the olive-tree and sweet-smelling as Lebanon.
