Seek Jehovah while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.

Come, and let us return to Jehovah. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us. He has wounded us but he will bandage us.

Return, O Israel, to Jehovah your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.

Isaiah is very bold, and says: Those who did not seek me found me. I was made manifest to those who did not ask for me.
