O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

Interpretation
Israel is exhorted to return to Jehovah, from their sins and idols, by faith in his mercy, and grace through the promised Redeemer, and by diligently attending on his worship and service. Take away iniquity; lift it off as a burden we are ready to sink under, or as the stumbling-block we have often fallen over.
