- “Now, therefore,” says the Lord,
“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” - So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
But the expectation of the wicked will perish. Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the Lord.Next verse!With image
