A Call For Repentance

21 A voice is heard on the bare hills. It is the crying and the pleading of the people of Israel. They are perverted and have forgotten Jehovah their God. 22 “Return, O faithless sons,
I will heal your faithlessness.”
“Behold, we come to You;
For You are the Lord our God.
23 Truly the sound from the hills and mountains is the noise of false worship. Truly Jehovah our God will be our salvation.
