I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face.
[Hos.5:15]
Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, your sins have hid his face from you. ■ My beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: ... I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. ■ I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on forwardly in the way of his heart. I have seen his ways, and will heal him. ■ Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God when he led thee by the way?
[Isa.59:2 | Song.5:6 | Isa.57:17,18 | Jer.2:17]
He arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ■ I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away.
[Luke.15:20 | Hos.14:4]
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[I John.1:9]
