## Hosea 14:1-2 in Context (Verses 1–5 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/hosea/14/1) O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/hosea/14/2) 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.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/hosea/14/3) 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 ](/kjv/hosea/14/4) ¶ I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
