(B)Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord;
(C)I will not [a]look upon you in anger.
For I am (D)gracious,’ declares the Lord;
‘I will not be angry forever.
13 ‘Only [b](E)acknowledge your iniquity,

And have (F)scattered your [c]favors to the strangers (G)under every green tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,’ declares the Lord.
