for he will
abundantly pardon.

Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD;
[and] I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you:

and]
I will not keep [
anger] for ever. ... Turn,
O backsliding children, saith the LORD;
for I am married unto you: and I will take you
one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

for thou [
art] the LORD my God. ...

my bowels are troubled for him;
I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.

and ye believed him not: but
the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen [
it],
repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
