If only you will respond to my rebuke, then I will pour out my thoughts to you and I will make my words known to you.

After all of this I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your elderly will have revelatory dreams; your young men will see prophetic visions.

This desolation will continue until new life is poured out on us from heaven. Then the desert will become an orchard and the orchard will be considered a forest.

A psalm of praise, by David. I will extol you, my God, O king! I will praise your name continually!

because you neglected all my advice, and did not comply with my rebuke,

they did not comply with my advice, they spurned all my rebuke.

For the commandments are like a lamp, instruction is like a light, and rebukes of discipline are like the road leading to life,

The one who heeds instruction is on the way to life, but the one who rejects rebuke goes astray.

The one who loves discipline loves knowledge, but the one who hates reproof is stupid.

The one who stiffens his neck after numerous rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy.

O sky, rain down from above! Let the clouds send down showers of deliverance! Let the earth absorb it so salvation may grow, and deliverance may sprout up along with it. I, the Lord, create it.

"Hey, all who are thirsty, come to the water! You who have no money, come! Buy and eat! Come! Buy wine and milk without money and without cost!

Seek the Lord while he makes himself available; call to him while he is nearby!

"Come back to me, my wayward sons," says the Lord, "for I am your true master. If you do, I will take one of you from each town and two of you from each family group, and I will bring you back to Zion.

When a wicked person turns from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will preserve his life.

Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but prefer that the wicked change his behavior and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil deeds! Why should you die, O house of Israel?'

Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for your sin has been your downfall!

"I will pour out on the kingship of David and the population of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication so that they will look to me, the one they have pierced. They will lament for him as one laments for an only son, and there will be a bitter cry for him like the bitter cry for a firstborn.

If you then, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

What did he mean by saying, 'You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?"

Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ."

Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out,

but I declared to those in Damascus first, and then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds consistent with repentance.

So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth!
