Hoshea 14:2-14:10

יד:ב   שׁוּבָה, יִשְׂרָאֵל, עַד, יקוק א-לקיךָ:  כִּי כָשַׁלְתָּ, בַּעֲונֶךָ.14:2 Return, O Israel, unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast stumbled in thine iniquity.
ג   קְחוּ עִמָּכֶם דְּבָרִים, וְשׁוּבוּ אֶל-יקוק; אִמְרוּ אֵלָיו, כָּל-תִּשָּׂא עָון וְקַח-טוֹב, וּנְשַׁלְּמָה פָרִים, שְׂפָתֵינוּ.3 Take with you words, and return unto the LORD; say unto Him: 'Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; so will we render for bullocks the offering of our lips.
ד   אַשּׁוּר לֹא יוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ, עַל-סוּס לֹא נִרְכָּב, וְלֹא-נֹאמַר עוֹד אֱלֹהֵינוּ, לְמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ--אֲשֶׁר-בְּךָ, יְרֻחַם יָתוֹם.4 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we call any more the work of our hands our gods; for in Thee the fatherless findeth mercy.'
ה   אֶרְפָּא, מְשׁוּבָתָם--אֹהֲבֵם, נְדָבָה:  כִּי שָׁב אַפִּי, מִמֶּנּוּ.5 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him.
ו   אֶהְיֶה כַטַּל לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, יִפְרַח כַּשּׁוֹשַׁנָּה; וְיַךְ שָׁרָשָׁיו, כַּלְּבָנוֹן.6 I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
ז   יֵלְכוּ, יֹנְקוֹתָיו, וִיהִי כַזַּיִת, הוֹדוֹ; וְרֵיחַ לוֹ, כַּלְּבָנוֹן.7 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his fragrance as Lebanon.
ח   יָשֻׁבוּ יֹשְׁבֵי בְצִלּוֹ, יְחַיּוּ דָגָן וְיִפְרְחוּ כַגָּפֶן; זִכְרוֹ, כְּיֵין לְבָנוֹן.8 They that dwell under his shadow shall again make corn to grow, and shall blossom as the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
ט   אֶפְרַיִם, מַה-לִּי עוֹד לָעֲצַבִּים; אֲנִי עָנִיתִי וַאֲשׁוּרֶנּוּ, אֲנִי כִּבְרוֹשׁ רַעֲנָן--מִמֶּנִּי, פֶּרְיְךָ נִמְצָא.9 Ephraim [shall say]: 'What have I to do any more with idols?' As for Me, I respond and look on him; I am like a leafy cypress-tree; from Me is thy fruit found.
י   מִי חָכָם וְיָבֵן אֵלֶּה, נָבוֹן וְיֵדָעֵם:  כִּי-יְשָׁרִים דַּרְכֵי יקוק, וְצַדִּקִים יֵלְכוּ בָם, וּפֹשְׁעִים, יִכָּשְׁלוּ בָם. 10 Whoso is wise, let him understand these things, whoso is prudent, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the just do walk in them; but transgressors do stumble therein.

Michah 7:18-7:20

ז:יח   מִי אֵל כָּמוֹךָ, נֹשֵׂא עָון וְעֹבֵר עַל פֶּשַׁע, לִשְׁאֵרִית, נַחֲלָתוֹ:  לֹא הֶחֱזִיק לָעַד אַפּוֹ, כִּי חָפֵץ חֶסֶד הוּא.7:18 Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth the iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy.
יט   יָשׁוּב יְרַחֲמֵנוּ, יִכְבֹּשׁ עֲונֹתֵינוּ; וְתַשְׁלִיךְ בִּמְצֻלוֹת יָם, כָּל חַטֹּאותָם.19 He will again have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
כ   תִּתֵּן אֱמֶת לְיַעֲקֹב, חֶסֶד לְאַבְרָהָם, אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לַאֲבֹתֵינוּ, מִימֵי קֶדֶם. 20 Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, as Thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

Yoel 2:11-2:27

ב:יא   וַיקוק, נָתַן קוֹלוֹ לִפְנֵי חֵילוֹ--כִּי רַב מְאֹד מַחֲנֵהוּ, כִּי עָצוּם עֹשֵׂה דְבָרוֹ:  כִּי-גָדוֹל יוֹם-יקוק וְנוֹרָא מְאֹד, וּמִי יְכִילֶנּוּ.2:11 And the LORD uttereth His voice before His army; for His camp is very great, for he is mighty that executeth His word; for great is the day of the LORD and very terrible; and who can abide it?
יב   וְגַם-עַתָּה, נְאֻם-יקוק, שֻׁבוּ עָדַי, בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶם; וּבְצוֹם וּבִבְכִי, וּבְמִסְפֵּד.12 Yet even now, saith the LORD, turn ye unto Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation;
יג   וְקִרְעוּ לְבַבְכֶם וְאַל-בִּגְדֵיכֶם, וְשׁוּבוּ אֶל-יקוק א-לקיכֶם:  כִּי-חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם, הוּא--אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם וְרַב-חֶסֶד, וְנִחָם עַל-הָרָעָה.13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God; for He is gracious and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and repenteth Him of the evil.
יד   מִי יוֹדֵעַ, יָשׁוּב וְנִחָם; וְהִשְׁאִיר אַחֲרָיו, בְּרָכָה--מִנְחָה וָנֶסֶךְ, לַיקוק א-לקיכֶם. 14 Who knoweth whether He will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind Him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering unto the LORD your God?
טו   תִּקְעוּ שׁוֹפָר, בְּצִיּוֹן; קַדְּשׁוּ-צוֹם, קִרְאוּ עֲצָרָה.15 Blow the horn in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly;
טז   אִסְפוּ-עָם קַדְּשׁוּ קָהָל, קִבְצוּ זְקֵנִים--אִסְפוּ עוֹלָלִים, וְיֹנְקֵי שָׁדָיִם:  יֵצֵא חָתָן מֵחֶדְרוֹ, וְכַלָּה מֵחֻפָּתָהּ.16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her pavilion.
יז   בֵּין הָאוּלָם, וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ, יִבְכּוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים, מְשָׁרְתֵי יקוק; וְיֹאמְרוּ חוּסָה יקוק עַל-עַמֶּךָ, וְאַל-תִּתֵּן נַחֲלָתְךָ לְחֶרְפָּה לִמְשָׁל-בָּם גּוֹיִם--לָמָּה יֹאמְרוּ בָעַמִּים, אַיֵּה א-לקיהֶם.17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say: 'Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not Thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should make them a byword: wherefore should they say among the peoples: Where is their God?'
יח   וַיְקַנֵּא יקוק, לְאַרְצוֹ; וַיַּחְמֹל, עַל-עַמּוֹ.18 Then was the LORD jealous for His land, and had pity on His people.
יט   וַיַּעַן יקוק וַיֹּאמֶר לְעַמּוֹ, הִנְנִי שֹׁלֵחַ לָכֶם אֶת-הַדָּגָן וְהַתִּירוֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר, וּשְׂבַעְתֶּם, אֹתוֹ; וְלֹא-אֶתֵּן אֶתְכֶם עוֹד חֶרְפָּה, בַּגּוֹיִם.19 And the LORD answered and said unto His people: 'Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations;
כ   וְאֶת-הַצְּפוֹנִי אַרְחִיק מֵעֲלֵיכֶם, וְהִדַּחְתִּיו אֶל-אֶרֶץ צִיָּה וּשְׁמָמָה--אֶת-פָּנָיו אֶל-הַיָּם הַקַּדְמֹנִי, וְסֹפוֹ אֶל-הַיָּם הָאַחֲרוֹן; וְעָלָה בָאְשׁוֹ, וְתַעַל צַחֲנָתוֹ--כִּי הִגְדִּיל, לַעֲשׂוֹת.20 But I will remove far off from you the northern one, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the eastern sea, and his hinder part toward the western sea; that his foulness may come up, and his ill savour may come up, because he hath done great things.'
כא   אַל-תִּירְאִי, אֲדָמָה; גִּילִי וּשְׂמָחִי, כִּי-הִגְדִּיל יקוק לַעֲשׂוֹת.21 Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice; for the LORD hath done great things.
כב   אַל-תִּירְאוּ בַּהֲמוֹת שָׂדַי, כִּי דָשְׁאוּ נְאוֹת מִדְבָּר:  כִּי-עֵץ נָשָׂא פִרְיוֹ, תְּאֵנָה וָגֶפֶן נָתְנוּ חֵילָם.22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine do yield their strength.
כג   וּבְנֵי צִיּוֹן, גִּילוּ וְשִׂמְחוּ בַּיקוק א-לקיכֶם, כִּי-נָתַן לָכֶם אֶת-הַמּוֹרֶה, לִצְדָקָה; וַיּוֹרֶד לָכֶם, גֶּשֶׁם מוֹרֶה וּמַלְקוֹשׁ--בָּרִאשׁוֹן.23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God; for He giveth you the former rain in just measure, and He causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, at the first.
כד   וּמָלְאוּ הַגֳּרָנוֹת, בָּר; וְהֵשִׁיקוּ הַיְקָבִים, תִּירוֹשׁ וְיִצְהָר.24 And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
כה   וְשִׁלַּמְתִּי לָכֶם, אֶת-הַשָּׁנִים, אֲשֶׁר אָכַל הָאַרְבֶּה, הַיֶּלֶק וְהֶחָסִיל וְהַגָּזָם:  חֵילִי, הַגָּדוֹל, אֲשֶׁר שִׁלַּחְתִּי, בָּכֶם.25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpiller, and the palmer-worm, My great army which I sent among you.
כו   וַאֲכַלְתֶּם אָכוֹל, וְשָׂבוֹעַ, וְהִלַּלְתֶּם אֶת-שֵׁם יקוק א-לקיכֶם, אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה עִמָּכֶם לְהַפְלִיא; וְלֹא-יֵבֹשׁוּ עַמִּי, לְעוֹלָם.26 And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be ashamed.
כז   וִידַעְתֶּם, כִּי בְקֶרֶב יִשְׂרָאֵל אָנִי, וַאֲנִי יקוק א-לקיכֶם, וְאֵין עוֹד; וְלֹא-יֵבֹשׁוּ עַמִּי, לְעוֹלָם. 27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and there is none else; and My people shall never be ashamed.
