36 For cthe Lord will vindicate1 his people
dand have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
and there is none remaining, ebond or free.
13 and krend your hearts and not lyour garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
mfor he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
nand he relents over disaster.
