‘I won’t look on you in anger,
    for I am gracious,’[a]
        declares the Lord.
‘I won’t remain angry forever.
13 ‘Only acknowledge your iniquity,
    that you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
    and have scattered your favors to strangers
        under every green tree.
But you haven’t obeyed me,’
        declares the Lord.
