O Yisroel, return unto Hashem Eloheicha; for thy downfall hast been thine avon (iniquity).
Take devarim (words) with you, and turn to Hashem; say unto Him, Take away avon (iniquity), and receive us graciously that we may render the sacrifices of our lips.[MJ 13:15]

אַשּׁ֣וּר׀ SDBH Assyria לֹ֣א SDBH will not יוֹשִׁיעֵ֗נוּ SDBH save us עַל־ on סוּס֙ SDBH horses לֹ֣א SDBH nor will we נִרְכָּ֔ב SDBH ride וְלֹא־ SDBH We will never again נֹ֥אמַר SDBH say ע֛וֹד . . . אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ SDBH Our g-ds לְמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה SDBH to the work יָדֵ֑ינוּ SDBH of our own hands אֲשֶׁר־ SDBH For בְּךָ֖ in You יְרֻחַ֥ם SDBH find compassion יָתֽוֹם׃ SDBH the fatherless
Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon susim; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are Eloheinu; for in Thee the yatom (orphan) findeth compassion.

אֶרְפָּא֙ SDBH I will heal מְשׁ֣וּבָתָ֔ם SDBH their apostasy אֹהֲבֵ֖ם SDBH love them נְדָבָ֑ה SDBH I will freely כִּ֛י for שָׁ֥ב SDBH has turned away אַפִּ֖י SDBH My anger מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ from them
I will heal their meshuvah (backsliding); I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him.
I will be as the tal (dew) unto Yisroel: he shall blossom as the lily, and strike root as Levanon.
6
יֵֽלְכוּ֙ SDBH will sprout יֹֽנְקוֹתָ֔יו SDBH His shoots וִיהִ֥י will be כַזַּ֖יִת SDBH like the olive tree הוֹד֑וֹ SDBH and his splendor וְרֵ֥יחַֽ SDBH his fragrance ל֖וֹ כַּלְּבָנֽוֹן׃ SDBH like [the cedars of] Lebanon
His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the zayit (olive tree), and his hod (splendor) as Levanon.
7
יָשֻׁ֙בוּ֙ SDBH They will return יֹשְׁבֵ֣י SDBH and dwell בְצִלּ֔וֹ SDBH in his shade יְחַיּ֥וּ SDBH they will grow דָגָ֖ן SDBH grain וְיִפְרְח֣וּ SDBH and blossom כַגָּ֑פֶן SDBH like the vine זִכְר֖וֹ SDBH His renown will be כְּיֵ֥ין SDBH like the wine לְבָנֽוֹן׃ס SDBH of Lebanon
They that dwell under his tzel (shade) shall return; they shall revive as the dagan, and grow as the gefen; the remembrance thereof shall be as the yayin of Levanon.
Ephrayim shall say, What have I to do any more with atzabim? It is I who answer and look after him; I am like an evergreen cypress. From Me is thy p'ri found.

מִ֤י SDBH Whoever חָכָם֙ SDBH is wise וְיָ֣בֵֽן SDBH let him understand אֵ֔לֶּה SDBH these things נָב֖וֹן SDBH [whoever] is discerning וְיֵֽדָעֵ֑ם SDBH let him know them כִּֽי־ For יְשָׁרִ֞ים SDBH are right דַּרְכֵ֣י SDBH the ways יְהוָ֗ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi וְצַדִּקִים֙ SDBH and the righteous יֵ֣לְכוּ SDBH walk בָ֔ם in them וּפֹשְׁעִ֖ים SDBH but the rebellious יִכָּ֥שְׁלוּ SDBH stumble בָֽם׃ in them
Who is chacham, and he shall have binah of these things? Prudent, and he shall know them? For the Darkhei Hashem are right, and the tzaddikim shall walk in them; but the poshe'im (transgressors) shall fall therein. T.N. IN THE NEXT BOOK WE HAVE THE PROPHECY THAT THE RUACH HAKODESH WILL BE POURED OUT IN THE LAST DAYS AND EVEN THE MOST HUMBLE PEOPLE WILL BE EMPOWERED THEREBY TO WITNESS. WHEN 120 MESSIANIC SPIRITFILLED JEWISH PEOPLE BEGAN TO PREACH THE BESURAS HAGEULAH FOR THE FIRST TIME, THEY KNEW THAT SOMETHING OF THIS VERY PROPHECY HAD COME TO PASS (SEE AC CHP 2).
