11 The Lord said to me, “Unfaithful Israel had a better excuse than wicked Judah. 12 Go and speak this message toward the north:

‘Come back, unfaithful people of Israel,’ says the Lord.
    ‘I will stop frowning at you.
I am full of mercy,’ says the Lord.
    ‘I will not be angry with you forever.
13 All you have to do is admit your sin.
    You turned against the Lord your God.
You worshiped the false gods of other nations.
    You worshiped them under every green tree.
    You didn’t obey me,’” says the Lord.

“‘Return,(E) faithless(F) Israel,’ declares the Lord,
    ‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’(G) declares the Lord,
    ‘I will not be angry(H) forever.
13 Only acknowledge(I) your guilt—
    you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
you have scattered your favors to foreign gods(J)
    under every spreading tree,(K)
    and have not obeyed(L) me,’”
declares the Lord.
