Come{H3212}{(H8798)}, and let us return{H7725}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068}: for he hath torn{H2963}{(H8804)}, and he will heal{H7495}{(H8799)} us; he hath smitten{H5221}{(H8686)}, and he will bind us up{H2280}{(H8799)}.

After two days{H3117} will he revive{H2421}{(H8762)} us: in the third{H7992} day{H3117} he will raise us up{H6965}{(H8686)}, and we shall live{H2421}{(H8799)} in his sight{H6440}.

Then shall we know{H3045}{(H8799)}, if we follow{H7291}{(H8799)} on to know{H3045}{(H8800)} the LORD{H3068}: his going forth{H4161} is prepared{H3559}{(H8737)} as the morning{H7837}; and he shall come{H935}{(H8799)} unto us as the rain{H1653}, as the latter{H4456} and former rain{H3384}{(H8802)} unto the earth{H776}.

O Ephraim{H669}, what shall I do{H6213}{(H8799)} unto thee? O Judah{H3063}, what shall I do{H6213}{(H8799)} unto thee? for your goodness{H2617} is as a morning{H1242} cloud{H6051}, and as the early{H7925}{(H8688)} dew{H2919} it goeth away{H1980}{(H8802)}.

Therefore have I hewed{H2672}{(H8804)} them by the prophets{H5030}; I have slain{H2026}{(H8804)} them by the words{H561} of my mouth{H6310}: and thy judgments{H4941} are as the light{H216} that goeth forth{H3318}{(H8799)}.

For I desired{H2654}{(H8804)} mercy{H2617}, and not sacrifice{H2077}; and the knowledge{H1847} of God{H430} more than burnt offerings{H5930}.

But they like men{H120} have transgressed{H5674}{(H8804)} the covenant{H1285}: there have they dealt treacherously{H898}{(H8804)} against me.

Gilead{H1568} is a city{H7151} of them that work{H6466}{(H8802)} iniquity{H205}, and is polluted{H6121} with blood{H1818}.

And as troops{H1416} of robbers wait{H2442}{(H8763)} for a man{H376}, so the company{H2267} of priests{H3548} murder{H7523}{(H8762)} in the way{H1870} by consent{H7926}{(H8677)}{H7927}: for they commit{H6213}{(H8804)} lewdness{H2154}.

I have seen{H7200}{(H8804)} an horrible thing{H8186} in the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}: there is the whoredom{H2184} of Ephraim{H669}, Israel{H3478} is defiled{H2930}{(H8738)}.

Also, O Judah{H3063}, he hath set{H7896}{(H8804)} an harvest{H7105} for thee, when I returned{H7725}{(H8800)} the captivity{H7622} of my people{H5971}.
