21 A voice was heard upon the high places,
    the weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel,
because they have perverted their way,
    they have forgotten the Lord their God.

22 Return, O backsliding sons,
    and I will heal your backslidings.

“We come to You;
    for You are the Lord our God.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills,
    and from the multitude of mountains.
Truly, in the Lord our God
    is the salvation of Israel.

    I will cure(E) you of backsliding.”(F)

“Yes, we will come to you,

    and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
    is the salvation(H) of Israel.
