1 Israel, return to the LORD your God;
2 Take words with you, and return to the LORD.
3 Assyria can’t save us.
4 “I will heal their waywardness.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel.
6 His branches will spread,
7 Men will dwell in his shade.
8 Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols?
9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things?
