Hosea 14:2 in Context — Hosea 14

1 Converte-te, ó Israel, ao SENHOR teu Deus; pois caíste por tua maldade.

2 Tomai convosco palavras, e convertei-vos ao SENHOR; dizei-lhe: Tira toda a maldade, e aceita o que é bom; então ofereceremos nossos lábios como bezerros.

3 Os assírios não nos salvarão; não cavalgaremos sobre cavalos, e nunca mais chamaremos à obra de nossas mãos de nossos deuses; porque em ti o órfão alcançará misericórdia.

4 Eu curarei sua rebelião, eu os amarei voluntariamente, porque minha ira terá se afastado deles.
