Hosea:6:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Come ,
and let us return unto Yahweh !
for ,
he ,
hath torn ,
that he might heal us ,
smitten ,
that he might bind us up .
*
He will bring us to life ,
after two days ,
on the third day ,
will he raise us up ,
that we may live before him .
*
Then let us knowlet us press on to know Yahweh ,
Like the dawn ,
is his coming forth assured ,
that he may come like a down-pour upon us ,
like the harvest-rain ,
*
What can I do unto thee ,
O Ephraim ?
What can I do unto thee ,
O Judah ?
for ,
your lovingkindness ,
is like a morning cloud ,
yea ,
like the dew ,
early departing !
*
For this cause ,
have I hewn them in pieces by the prophets ,
I have slain them by the sayings of my mouth ,
and ,
my justice ,
as a light goeth forth .
*
For ,
lovingkindness ,
I desired ,
and not sacrifice ,
and the knowledge of God ,
more than ascending-offerings .
*
But ,
they ,
like Adam ,
have transgressed a covenant ,
There ,
have they dealt treacherously with me .
