3 Assyria cannot save us;

we will not mount warhorses.

We will never again say ‘Our gods’

to what our own hands have made,

for in you the fatherless find compassion.”

4 “I will heal their waywardness

and love them freely,

for my anger has turned away from them.

3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: Neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: For in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: For mine anger is turned away from him.

3 Assyria cannot save us,

nor can our warhorses.

Never again will we say to the idols we have made,

‘You are our gods.’

No, in you alone

do the orphans find mercy.”

4 The Lord says,

“Then I will heal you of your faithlessness;

my love will know no bounds,

for my anger will be gone forever.

3 Assyria shall not save us,

We will not ride on horses,

Nor will we say anymore to the work of our hands, ‘You are our gods.’

For in You the fatherless finds mercy.”

4 “I will heal their backsliding,

I will love them freely,

For My anger has turned away from him.

3 Assyria cannot save us,

nor will we trust in our horses.

We will not say again, ‘Our gods,’

to the things our hands have made.

You show mercy to orphans.”

4 The Lord says,

“I will forgive them for leaving me

and will love them freely,

because I am not angry with them anymore.

3 Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.

3 Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Thou art our God; because in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.

3 Assyria cannot save us. 

We won’t ride on horses anymore. 

We will never again say 

that the things our hands have made are our gods. 

You love orphans.” 

4 ⸤The Lord says,⸥ “I will cure them of their unfaithfulness. 

I will love them freely. 

I will no longer be angry with them. 

3 Assyria will not save us,

we will not ride on horses,

and we will no longer proclaim, ‘Our gods!’

to the work of our hands.

For the fatherless receives compassion in You.”

4 I will heal their apostasy;

I will freely love them,

for My anger will have turned from him.

3 Assyria shall not save us;

we will not ride upon horses;

we will say no more, ‘Our God,’

to the work of our hands.

In you the orphan finds mercy.”

4 I will heal their disloyalty;

I will love them freely,

for my anger has turned from them.

3 Assyria will not save us;

we will not ride on horses,

and we will say no more, “Our God,”

to the work of our hands

because in you the fatherless child finds mercy.

4 I will heal their disloyalty;

I will love them freely

because my anger has turned back

from them.

3 Assyria can’t save us.

We won’t trust in our war horses.

Our own hands have made statues of gods.

But we will never call them our gods again.

We are like children whose fathers have died.

But you show us your tender love.”

4 Then the Lord will answer,

“My people always wander away from me.

But I will put an end to that.

My anger has turned away from them.

Now I will love them freely.

3 “Assyria will not save us,

We will not ride on horses;

Nor will we say again, ‘Our god,’

To the work of our hands;

For in You the orphan finds mercy.”

4 I will heal their apostasy,

I will love them freely,

For My anger has turned away from them.
