Chapter 14

1


 

  O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.  

 

 


2


 

  Take with you words, and return unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so will we render [as] bullocks [the offering of] our lips.  

 

 


3


 

  Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Ye are] our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.  

 

 


4


 

  I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.  

 

 


5


 

  I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.  

 

 


6


 

  His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.  

 

 


7


 

  They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive [as] the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.  

 

 


8


 

  Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found.  

 

 


9


 

  Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein.  

 

 


Joel 1
