14:6 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Return! Turn from your idols, and turn your faces away from your abominations.
18:30 “Therefore I will judge each person according to his conduct,
1:23 If only
then
and
8:36 But the one who does not find me
all who hate me
55:6 Seek the Lord while he makes himself available;
call to him while he is nearby!
55:7 The wicked need to abandon their lifestyle
and sinful people their plans.
They should return
and to their God, for he will freely forgive them.
3:22 Come back to me, you wayward people.
I want to cure your waywardness.
Say,
because you are the Lord our God.
31:18 I have indeed
‘We were like a calf untrained to the yoke.
You disciplined us and we learned from it.
Let us come back to you and we will do so,
for you are the Lord our God.
31:19 For after we turned away from you we repented.
After we came to our senses
We are ashamed and humiliated
because of the disgraceful things we did previously.’
31:20 Indeed, the people of Israel are my dear children.
They are the children I take delight in.
For even though I must often rebuke them,
I still remember them with fondness.
So I am deeply moved with pity for them
and will surely have compassion on them.
I, the Lord, affirm it!
14:1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for your sin has been your downfall!
