Israel’s Future Blessing

O Israel, ^areturn in repentance to the LORD your God,For you have stumbled and fallen visited by tragedy, because of your ^bsin.2 Take the words confessing your guilt with you and return to the LORD.Say to Him, “^aTake away all our wickedness;Accept what is good and receive us graciously,So that we may ^bpresent the fruit of our lips (gratitude) . Heb 13:153 “Assyria will not save us;We will ^anot ride on horses relying on military might,Nor will we say again to the idols who are the ^bwork of our hands,‘You are ^cour gods.’For in ^dYou O LORD the orphan finds love and compassion and mercy.”

4 I will ^aheal their apostasy and faithlessness;I will ^blove them freely,For My anger has ^cturned away from Israel.5 I shall be like the ^adew to Israel;He will blossom like the ^blily,And he will take root like the cedars of ^cLebanon.6 His shoots will sprout,And his beauty will be like the ^aolive treeAnd his fragrance like the cedars of ^bLebanon.7 Those who ^alive in his shadowWill again raise ^bgrain,And they will blossom like the vine.His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8 O Ephraim, what more have I to do with ^aidols?It is I who have answered and will care for you and watch over you.I am like a ^bluxuriant cypress tree;With ^cMe your fruit is found which is to nourish you.

9 ^aWhoever is spiritually wise, let him understand these things;Whoever is spiritually discerning and understanding, let him know them.For the ^bways of the LORD are right,And the ^crighteous will walk in them,But ^dtransgressors will stumble and fall in them. Ps 107:43; Is 26:7; Jer 9:12; Dan 12:10
