The Lord's Invitation

12 The Lord said:

It isn't too late.
You can still return to me
    with all your heart.
Start crying and mourning!
    Go without eating.
13 Don't rip your clothes
    to show your sorrow.
Instead, turn back to me
    with broken hearts.
I am merciful, kind, and caring.
I don't easily lose my temper,
    and I don't like to punish.

14 I am the Lord your God.
Perhaps I will change my mind
    and treat you with mercy.
Then you will be blessed
with enough grain and wine
    for offering sacrifices to me.
