1Israel, return to the LORD your God;
2Take words with you, and return to the LORD.
3Assyria can’t save us.
4“I will heal their waywardness.
5I will be like the dew to Israel.
6His branches will spread,
7Men will dwell in his shade.
8Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols?
9Who is wise, that he may understand these things?
