“Return to Me with all your heart,

And with fasting, weeping, and mourning;

12“Even now,” says the Lord,

“Turn and come to Me with all your heart [in genuine repentance],

With fasting and weeping and mourning [until every barrier is removed and the broken fellowship is restored];

12“Yet even now,”

declares the Lord,

“return to Me with all your heart,

with fasting, weeping, and mourning.”

12Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn ye unto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

12Therefore also now the Lord sayth, Turne you vnto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning,

12“Yet even now,” says Yahweh, “turn to me with all your heart,

and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”

12The Lord announces to his people,

“Return to me with all your heart.

There is still time.

Do not eat any food.

Weep and mourn.”

12The Lord says, ‘Even now it is not too late!

Show that you are sorry and return to me.

Fast, weep and cry to show that you are sad.

12“And also now,” a declaration of YHWH, || “Turn back to Me with all your heart, || And with fasting, and with weeping, || And with lamentation.”
