The Book of Hosea

 

Chapter 6

 

 

1.

 

Come and let us return unto Jehovah: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

    
 
 

2.

 

After two days will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;

    
 
 

3.

 

and we shall know, -- we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth the earth.

    
 
 

4.

 

What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.

    
 
 

5.

 

Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth forth as the light.

    
 
 

6.

 

For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

    
 
 

7.

 

But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

    
 
 

8.

 

Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.

    
 
 

9.

 

And as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness.

    
 
 

10.

 

In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is defiled.

    
 
 

11.

 

Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again the captivity of my people.
