1 Come H1980 , and let us return H7725 unto H413 the LORD: H3068 for H3588 he H1931 hath torn, H2963 and he will heal H7495 us ; he hath smitten, H5221 and he will bind us up. H2280
2 After two days H4480 H3117 will he revive H2421 us : in the third H7992 day H3117 he will raise us up, H6965 and we shall live H2421 in his sight. H6440
3 Then shall we know, H3045 if we follow on H7291 to know H3045 H853 the LORD: H3068 his going forth H4161 is prepared H3559 as the morning; H7837 and he shall come H935 unto us as the rain, H1653 as the latter H4456 and former rain H3138 unto the earth. H776
4 O Ephraim, H669 what H4100 shall I do H6213 unto thee? O Judah, H3063 what H4100 shall I do H6213 unto thee? for your goodness H2617 is as a morning H1242 cloud, H6051 and as the early H7925 dew H2919 it goeth away. H1980
5 Therefore H5921 H3651 have I hewed H2672 them by the prophets; H5030 I have slain H2026 them by the words H561 of my mouth: H6310 and thy judgments H4941 are as the light H216 that goeth forth. H3318
6 For H3588 I desired H2654 mercy, H2617 and not H3808 sacrifice; H2077 and the knowledge H1847 of God H430 more than burnt offerings H4480 H5930 .
7 But they H1992 like men H120 have transgressed H5674 the covenant: H1285 there H8033 have they dealt treacherously H898 against me.
8 Gilead H1568 is a city H7151 of them that work H6466 iniquity, H205 and is polluted H6121 with blood H4480 H1818 .
9 And as troops of robbers H1416 wait H2442 for a man, H376 so the company H2267 of priests H3548 murder H7523 in the way H1870 by consent: H7926 for H3588 they commit H6213 lewdness. H2154
10 I have seen H7200 a horrible thing H8186 in the house H1004 of Israel: H3478 there H8033 is the whoredom H2184 of Ephraim, H669 Israel H3478 is defiled. H2930
11 Also H1571 , O Judah, H3063 he hath set H7896 a harvest H7105 for thee , when I returned H7725 the captivity H7622 of my people. H5971
