Psalms 80:3-19

3. Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

4. O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

5. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

6. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

7. Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

8. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

9. Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

10. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

11. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

12. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

13. The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

14. Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

15. And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16. It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

17. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

18. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

19. Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

Isaiah 17:7

7. At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 29:24

24. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

Isaiah 31:6-7

6. Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

7. For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

Jeremiah 50:4-6

4. In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.

5. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.

6. My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
