4 “If you will return, O Israel,” declares Jehovah,

“If you will return to me

And if you will remove your disgusting idols from before me,

Then you will not be a fugitive.+

 6 “So return to your God,+

Maintain loyal love and justice,+

And always hope in your God.

14 “Come back, O Israel, to Jehovah your God,+

For you have stumbled because of your error.

 2 Come back to Jehovah with these words,

Say to him, ‘May you pardon our error+ and accept what is good,

And we will offer the praise of our lips+ as we would young bulls.*
