Go and proclaim these words toward the north and say,
‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord;

Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?

Will You be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,

Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

“For I will not contend forever,

Nor will I always be angry;

For the spirit would grow faint before Me,
And the breath of those whom I have made.

Do not be angry beyond measure, O Lord,

Nor remember iniquity forever;

Behold, look now, all of us are Your people.

“Behold, the rulers of Israel, each according to his power, have been in you for the purpose of shedding blood.

Woe to those who scheme iniquity,
Who work out evil on their beds!

When morning comes, they do it,

For it is in the power of their hands.

Concerning evil, both hands do it well.
The prince asks, also the judge, for a bribe,
And a great man speaks the desire of his soul;
So they weave it together.

Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
The tyrannical city!
