  3. Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, says the Lord… therefore I will cast you out of my sight…Jeremiah 7:11, 15

  4. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me…The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.Psalm 51:10-11, 17

  5. When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. The more I called them, the more they went from me… Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them. I led them with cords of compassion, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them…

  6. How can I give you up, O Ephraim! How can I hand you over, O Israel! My heart recoils within me, my compassion grows warm and tender. I will not execute my fierce anger, I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come to destroy.Hosea 11:1-4, 8-9

  14. Thou who art of purer eyes than to behold evil and canst not look on wrong, why dost thou look on faithless men, and art silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he?Habakkuk 1:13

  15. “Yet even now,” says the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love…Joel 2:12-13

  24. O my people, what have I done to you? In what have I wearied you? Answer me!Micah 6:3

  25. “In all the squares there shall be wailing; and in all the streets they shall say, ‘Alas! Alas!’

  33. Surely he has bourne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

  34. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities;

  35. upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed…

  36. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.Isaiah 53:1-7
