12 Go, proclaim these words to the north, and say,

‘Return, unfaithful Israel.(A)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will not look on you with anger,[a]
for I am unfailing in my love.(B)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will not be angry forever.(C)
13 Only acknowledge your guilt(D)
you have rebelled against the Lord your God.(E)
You have scattered your favors to strangers
under every green tree(F)
and have not obeyed me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

14 “‘Return, you faithless children(G)—this is the Lord’s declaration—for I am your master,[b](H) and I will take you,(I) one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
