- Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord;
and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you:
for I am merciful, saith the Lord,
and I will not keep anger for ever.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:
but the word of our God shall stand for ever. My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strength of my heart,
and my portion for ever.Next verse!With image
