Call to Repentance and Closing Prayer

12 Even now, declares the Lord,
    return to me with all your heart,
    with fasting and weeping and grief.
13 Tear your heart and not your clothing.
    Return to the Lord your God,
    for he is gracious and compassionate,
    slow to anger and abounding in mercy,
    and he relents from sending disaster.
14 Who knows?
    He may turn and have pity and leave behind a blessing—
    grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God.
