A Call For Repentance

22 "Turn back, unfaithful people, and I'll heal your unfaithfulness." "Look, we're coming to you because you are the LORD our God. 23 Truly the hills are a deception, and the mountains are confusion. Truly, in the LORD our God is Israel's salvation." 24 Since our youth the false gods have consumed the products of our ancestors' hard work, their sheep and their cattle, their sons and their daughters.
