1"Come, let us return to the LORD; even though he has torn us, he will heal us. Even though he has wounded us, he will bind our wounds. 1"Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.
2After two days, he will restore us to life, on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his presence.2"He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, That we may live before Him.
3Let us know, let us pursue knowledge of the LORD; his coming is as certain as the dawn. He will come to us like the rain, like the autumn and spring rains come on the earth.3"So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth."
4"What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your love is like a morning rain cloud— it passes away like the morning dew.4What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning cloud And like the dew which goes away early.
5Therefore I cut them to pieces by the prophets, killing them by the words from my mouth. The verdict against you shines like a beacon.5Therefore I have hewn them in pieces by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth.
6For it is love that I seek, and not sacrifice; knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.6For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
7"But like Adam, they broke the covenant; in this they have acted deceitfully against me.7But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant; There they have dealt treacherously against Me.
8Gilead is a lawless town; it is polluted by bloodshed.8Gilead is a city of wrongdoers, Tracked with bloody footprints.
9Like a gang of thieves that stalk a man, priests commit murder along the road to Shechem, committing shameful crimes.9And as raiders wait for a man, So a band of priests murder on the way to Shechem; Surely they have committed crime.
10I have seen a horrible evil in the house of Israel— Ephraim's promiscuity. Israel is defiled.10In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim's harlotry is there, Israel has defiled itself.
11"So, Judah, a harvest has been appointed for you when I restore my people from captivity."11Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, When I restore the fortunes of My people.
