³³ When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy,
because they have sinned against You,^(A)
and they return to You and praise Your name,
and they pray and plead with You
for mercy in this temple,

If you return, I will restore you;
you will stand in My presence.
And if you speak noble words,
rather than worthless ones,
you will be My spokesman.^(A)
It is they who must return to you;
you must not return to them.
