Rh :For she hath rebelled against her God:
 * They shall fall by the sword:
 * Their infants shall be dashed in pieces,
 * And their women with child shall be ripped up.


 * , return unto the Lord thy God;
 * For thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
 * Take with you words, and turn to the Lord:
 * Say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously:
 * So will we render the calves of our lips.
 * Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses:
 * Neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods:
 * For in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.


 * I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely:
 * For mine anger is turned away from him.
 * I will be as the dew unto Israel:
 * He shall grow as the lily,
 * And cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
 * His branches shall spread,
 * And his beauty shall be as the olive tree,
 * And his smell as Lebanon.
 * They that dwell under his shadow shall return;
 * They shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine:
 * The scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
