‘Only understand fully and acknowledge your wickedness and guilt,
That you have rebelled (transgressed) against the LORD your God
And have scattered your favors among strangers under every green tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,’ says the LORD.
‘Return, O faithless children [of the twelve tribes],’ says the LORD,
‘For I am a master and husband to you,
And I will take you [not as a nation, but individually]—one from a city and two from a [tribal] family—
And I will bring you to Zion.’ [Luke 15:20-22]
