Israel Rejected the Lord’s Promise

Let’s return to Yahweh.
    Even though he has torn us to pieces,
        he will heal us.
    Even though he has wounded us,
        he will bandage our wounds.
            After two days he will revive us.
                On the third day he will raise us
                    so that we may live in his presence.
Let’s learn about Yahweh.
    Let’s get to know Yahweh.
    He will come to us as sure as the morning comes.
    He will come to us like the autumn rains and the spring rains
        that water the ground.
