Think about what you will say, and come back to the Lord. Say to him,

“Take away our sin,
    and accept these words as our sacrifice.
    We offer you the praise from our lips.[a]
Assyria will not save us.
    We will not ride on war horses.
We will never again say, ‘Our God’
    to something we made with our hands.
This is because you are the one who
    shows mercy to orphans.”

The Lord Will Forgive Israel

The Lord says,
“I will forgive them for leaving me.
    I will show them my love without limits,
    because I have stopped being angry.
