1 Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds. “Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. 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. “Come, let’s return to the LORD. For He has torn <i>us,</i> but He will heal us; He has wounded <i>us,</i> but He will bandage us. “Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.
2 After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. “He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, That we may live before Him. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
3 So let us know— let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth. Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.” Then shall we know, <i>if</i> 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 <i>and</i> former rain unto the earth. “So let’s learn, let’s press on to know the LORD. His appearance is as sure as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, As the spring rain waters the earth.” Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”
4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes. What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away. O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness <i>is</i> as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. What shall I do with you, Ephraim? What shall I do with you, Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning cloud, And like the dew which goes away early. “What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears.

7 But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me. But like Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.

9 Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities. As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests band together; they murder on the way to Shechem; they commit villainy.
