1Yo Israel, it’s time to bounce back to the Lord your God; you totally fell off with your wrongdoings.

2Bring some fire words and turn to the Lord: say, “Take away our mess-ups and show us some love,” and we’ll vibe with our praise.

3Asshur ain't saving us; we’re not hopping on horses anymore: we’re done saying, “You’re our gods” to our own creations, ‘cause in You, the orphans find mercy.

4I’ll fix their slip-ups, I’ll love them like no cap: my anger’s been put on chill.

5I’ll be like the morning dew for Israel: he’ll bloom like a lily and spread his roots like Lebanon.

6His branches will stretch out, and he’ll be as beautiful as an olive tree, with a scent like Lebanon.

7Those chilling under his shade will come back; they’ll come alive like corn and grow like vines: the aroma will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8Ephraim’s gonna say, “What’s the deal with idols? I’ve heard him and peeped him: I’m like a fresh fir tree. From me, you’ll find the good stuff.”

9Who’s wise enough to get this? Who’s savvy enough to know? The Lord’s ways are lit, and the just will roll with them: but the haters will trip up.

1O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

2Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

3Asshur 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.

4I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

5I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

6His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

7They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

8Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

9Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
