4 “If you would return, O Israel,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “you may return even to me.+ And if you will take away your disgusting things on my account,*+ then you will not go as a fugitive.

3 “And you must say to them, ‘This is what Jehovah of armies* has said: “‘Return to me,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah* of armies, ‘and I shall return to YOU,’+ Jehovah* of armies has said.”’
