A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weeping and the petitions of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God.
Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding.
“Behold, we have come to you; for you are the LORD our God.
Truly help from the hills, the tumult on the mountains, is in vain.
Truly the salvation of Israel is in the LORD our God.
But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
