A Call For Repentance

21 A voice on high places is heard -- weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made perverse their way, They have forgotten Jehovah their God. 22 Turn back, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease. -- Behold us, we have come to Thee, For Thou art Jehovah our God. 23 Surely in vain from the heights, The multitude of mountains -- Surely in Jehovah our God is the salvation of Israel.
