[1] “Come! Let’s return to Yahweh;
for he has torn us to pieces,
and he will heal us;
he has injured us,
and he will bind up our wounds.
[2] After two days he will revive us.
On the third day he will raise us up,
and we will live before him.
[3] Let’s acknowledge Yahweh.
Let’s press on to know Yahweh.
As surely as the sun rises,
Yahweh will appear.
He will come to us like the rain,
like the spring rain that waters the earth.” [4] “Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your love is like a morning cloud,
and like the dew that disappears early.
[5] Therefore I have cut them to pieces with the prophets;
I killed them with the words of my mouth.
Your judgments are like a flash of lightning.
[6] For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice;
and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
[7] But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant.
They were unfaithful to me there.
[8] Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity;
it is stained with blood.
[9] As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man,
so the company of priests murder on the path toward Shechem,
committing shameful crimes.
[10] In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing.
There is prostitution in Ephraim.
Israel is defiled. [11] “Also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you,
when I restore the fortunes of my people.
King James Version

A Brief Repentance

[1] Come, H3212 and let us return H7725 unto H413 the Lord: H3068 for H3588 he hath torn, H2963 and he will heal H7495 us; he hath smitten, H5221 and he will bind us up. H2280 [2] After two days 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 H7291 on 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 H3384 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 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 sacrifice; H2077 and the knowledge H1847 of God H430 more than burnt offerings. H5930 [7] But they 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. H1818§ [9] And as troops H1416 of robbers wait H2442 for a man, H376 so the company H2267 of priests H3548 murder H7523 in the way H1870 by consent: H7926§ H7927 for they commit H6213 lewdness. H2154§ [10] I have seen H7200 an horrible thing H8186 in the house H1004 of Israel: H3478 there is the whoredom H2184 of Ephraim, H669 Israel H3478 is defiled. H2930 [11] Also, O Judah, H3063 he hath set H7896 an harvest H7105 for thee, when I returned H7725 the captivity H7622 of my people. H5971
