Return to the Lord

12 Yet even now, declares the Lord,
    return to Me with all your heart,
    and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning.

13 Rend your heart,
    and not your garments;
return to the Lord your God,
    for He is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
    and He relents from punishing.

    and He might leave behind a blessing—
a grain offering and a food offering
    for the Lord your God.
