28_HOS_06_01 come, And let us Return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, And he will heal us; he hath smitten, And he will bind us up.
28_HOS_06_02 after two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, And we shall live in his sight.
28_HOS_06_03 Then shall we know, [ if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth Is prepared as the morning; And he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [ And] former rain unto the earth.
28_HOS_06_04 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness [ Is] as A morning cloud, And as the early dew it goeth away.
28_HOS_06_05 therefore have I hewed [ them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: And thy judgments [ are as] the light [ that] goeth forth.
28_HOS_06_06 for I desired mercy, And not sacrifice; And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
28_HOS_06_07 but they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
28_HOS_06_08 Gilead [ Is] A city of them that work iniquity, [ And Is] polluted with blood.
28_HOS_06_09 And as troops of robbers wait for A man, [ So] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
28_HOS_06_10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [ Is] the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel Is defiled.
28_HOS_06_11 also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
