- "Therefore¹ I will judgeª° you, O houseª of Israel,ª every oneª according to his ways,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª Repent,ª° and turnª° [yourselves] from all¹¹ your transgressions;ª so iniquityª shall not¹ be¹ your ruin.ª" {Ezk 18:30} + "And Samuelª spakeª° unto¹ all¹ the houseª of Israel,ª saying,ª° If¹ ye¹ do returnª° unto¹ the LORDª with all¹ your hearts,ª [then] put awayª°¹ the strangeª godsª and Ashtarothª from amongª¹ you, and prepareª° your heartsª unto¹ the LORD,ª and serveª° him only:¹ and he will deliverª° you out of the handª¹ of the Philistines.ª" {1Sm 7:3} + "[Yet] if they shall bethink²° themselves¹¹¹ in the landª whither¹¹ they were carried captives,ª° and repent,ª°² and make supplicationª° unto¹ thee in the landª of them that carried them captives,ª° saying,ª° We have sinned,ª° and have done perversely,ª° we have committed wickedness;ª° ... Then hearª° thou¹ their prayerª and their supplicationª in heavenª thy dwellingª° place,ª and maintainª° their cause,ª" {1Kg 8:47-49} + "Remember,ª° I beseech¹ thee,¹ the wordª that¹ thou commandedstª°¹ thy servantª Moses,ª saying,ª° [If] ye¹ transgress,ª° I¹ will scatter you abroadª°¹ among the nations:ª ... But [if] ye turnª° unto¹ me, and keepª° my commandments,ª and doª° them; though¹ there were¹ of you cast outª° unto the uttermost partª of the heaven,ª [yet] will I gatherª° them from thence,¹¹ and will bringª° them unto¹ the placeª that¹ I have chosenª° to setª°¹ my nameª there.¹" {Neh 1:8-9} + "Seekª° ye the LORDª while he may be found,ª° callª° ye upon him while he is¹ near:ª ... Let the wickedª forsakeª° his way,ª and the unrighteousª manª his thoughts:ª and let him returnª° unto¹ the LORD,ª and he will have mercyª° upon him; and to¹ our God,ª for¹ he will abundantlyª° pardon.ª°" {Isa 55:6-7} + "Why¹ [then] is this¹ peopleª of Jerusalemª slidden backª° by a perpetualª° backsliding?ª they hold²° fast¹ deceit,ª they refuseª° to return.ª° ... I hearkenedª° and heard,ª° [but] they spake¹ not¹ aright:²°¹ no¹ manª repentedª° him ofª his wickedness,ª saying,ª° What¹ have I done?ª° every one¹ turnedª° to his course,ª as the horseª rushethª° into the battle.ª" {Jer 8:5-6} + "I have surely²° heardª° Ephraimª bemoaning²° himself¹ [thus]; Thou hast chastisedª° me, and I was chastised,ª° as a bullockª unaccustomedªª° [to the yoke]: turnª° thou me, and I shall be turned;ª° for¹ thou¹ [art] the LORDª my God.ª ... [Is] Ephraimª my dearª son?ª [is he] a pleasantª child?ª for¹ sinceª¹ I spakeª° against him, I do earnestly²° rememberª° him still:¹ therefore¹¹ my bowelsª are troubledª° for him; I will surely²° have mercyª° upon him, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 31:18-20} + "In those¹ days,ª and in that¹ time,ª saithª° the LORD,ª the childrenª of Israelª shall come,ª° they¹ and the childrenª of Judahª together,ª goingª° and weeping:ª° they shall go,²°¹ and seekª° the LORDª their God.ª ... They shall askª° the wayª to Zionª with their facesª thitherward,ª [saying], Come,ª° and let us join²° ourselves¹ to¹ the LORDª in a perpetualª covenantª [that] shall not¹ be forgotten.ª°" {Jer 50:4-5} + "Wherefore¹ doth a livingª manª complain,ª° a manª for¹ the punishment of his sins?ª ... Let us lift upª° our heartª with¹ [our] handsª unto¹ Godª in the heavens.ª" {Lam 3:39-41} + "O Israel,ª returnª° unto¹ the LORDª thy God;ª for¹ thou hast fallenª° by thine iniquity.ª ... Asshurª shall not¹ saveª° us; we will not¹ rideª° upon¹ horses:ª neither¹ will we sayª° any more¹ to the workª of our hands,ª [Ye are] our gods:ª for¹ in thee the fatherlessª findeth mercy.ª°" {Hsa 14:1-3} + "Ephraimª [shall say], What¹ have I to do any more¹ with idols?ª I¹ have heardª° [him], and observedª° him: I¹ [am] like a greenª fir tree.ª From¹ me is thy fruitª found.ª°" {Hsa 14:8} + "And he caused [it] to be proclaimedª° and publishedª° through Ninevehª by the decreeª¹ of the kingª and his nobles,ª saying,ª° Let neither¹ manª nor beast,ª herdª nor flock,ª tasteª° any thing:ª let them not¹ feed,ª° nor¹ drinkª° water:ª ... Who¹ can tellª° [if] Godª will turnª° and repent,ª° and turn awayª° from his fierceª¹ anger,ª that we perishª° not?¹" {Jna 3:7-9} + "Bring forthª° thereforeª fruitsª meetª for repentance:ª ...
