12 But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:

13 Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.

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

and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning."

13 Tear your heart and not your garments,

and turn to Yahweh, your God;

for he is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness,

and relents from sending calamity.
