(King James Version)
Hosea:
Chapter 6
1. 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.
2. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us
up, and we shall live in his sight.
3. 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.
4. O E-phra-im, 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.
5. 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.
6. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more
than burnt offerings.
7. But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they
dealt treacherously against me.
8. Gil-e-ad is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with
blood.
9. And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests
murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
10. I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is
whoredom of E-phra-im, Israel is defiled.
11. Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the
captivity of my people.
