12 Go,* and you must proclaim these words to the north+ and say:

“‘“Do return, O renegade Israel,” is the utterance of Jehovah.’+ ‘“I shall not have my face drop [angrily] upon YOU people,+ for I am loyal,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah.’ ‘“I shall not stay resentful to time indefinite.+

4 Who will not really fear you,+ Jehovah,*+ and glorify your name,+ because you alone are loyal?+ For all the nations will come and worship before you,+ because your righteous decrees have been made manifest.”+
