“1. O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. 1. Revertere Israel ad Jehovam Deum tuum; quia orruisti in iniquitate tua. 2. Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. 2. Tollite vobiscum verba, et convertimini ad Jehovam: et dicite ei, Omnem tolle iniquitatem, et sume (vel, attolle) bonum; et solvemus vitulos labiorum nostrorum. …”
