14:1 O Yisroel, return unto Hashem Eloheicha; for thy downfall hast been thine avon (iniquity).
14:2 Take devarim (words) with you, and turn to Hashem; say unto Him, Take away avon (iniquity), and receive us graciously that we may render the sacrifices of our lips.[MJ 13:15]
14:3 Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon susim; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are Eloheinu; for in Thee the yatom (orphan) findeth compassion.
14:4 I will heal their meshuvah (backsliding); I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him.
14:5 I will be as the tal (dew) unto Yisroel: he shall blossom as the lily, and strike root as Levanon.
14:6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the zayit (olive tree), and his hod (splendor) as Levanon.
14:7 They that dwell under his tzel (shade) shall return; they shall revive as the dagan, and grow as the gefen; the remembrance thereof shall be as the yayin of Levanon.
14:8 Ephrayim shall say, What have I to do any more with atzabim? It is I who answer and look after him; I am like an evergreen cypress. From Me is thy p’ri found.
14:9 Who is chacham, and he shall have binah of these things? Prudent, and he shall know them? For the Darkhei Hashem are right, and the tzaddikim shall walk in them; but the poshe’im (transgressors) shall fall therein.
