Hosea 14:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² Take with you words
    and return to the Lord;
say to him,
    “Take away all iniquity;
accept that which is good
    and we will render
    the fruit^[a] of our lips.
³ Assyria shall not save us,
    we will not ride upon horses;
and we will say no more, ‘Our God,’
    to the work of our hands.
In thee the orphan finds mercy.”

⁴ I will heal their faithlessness;
    I will love them freely,
    for my anger has turned from them.
