Israel Cries for Help

21 “A voice is heard on the barren heights,
    the weeping and pleading of the children of Israel
because they have perverted their way.
    They have forgotten the Lord their God.”

God Calls for Repentance

22 “Turn back, unfaithful people,[a]
    and I’ll heal your unfaithfulness.”

Israel Replies

“Look, we’re coming to you
    because you are the Lord our God.
23 Truly the hills are a deception,[b]
    and the mountains[c] are confusion.
        Truly, in the Lord our God is Israel’s salvation.”
