- “Even now,” declares the Lord,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning.” - Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.Next verse!With image
