“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.”
The instruction to take words and return to the LORD indicates that return must be accompanied by confession and honest acknowledgment of sin. The promise to receive graciously and love freely suggests that God's response to genuine return will be acceptance and blessing. This verse establishes that repentance requires both human confession and divine grace in response.
