Hos 6:1
“Come H1980, let us return H7725 to Yahweh H3068.
For He has torn H2963 us, but He will heal H7495 us;
He has struck H5221 us, but He will bandage H2280 us.
Hos 6:2
“He will make H2421 us alive H2421 after H4480 two days H3117;
He will raise H6965 us up H6965 on the third H7992 day H3117,
That we may live H2421 before H6440 Him.
Hos 6:3
“So let us know H3045, let us pursue H7291 to know H3045 Yahweh H3068.
His going H4161 forth H4161 is established H3559 as the dawn H7837;
And He will come H935 to us like the rain H1653,
Like the [fn]late H4456 rain H4456 watering H3384 the earth H776.”
Hos 6:4
What H4100 shall I do H6213 with you, O Ephraim H669?
What H4100 shall I do H6213 with you, O Judah H3063?
For your lovingkindness H2617 is like a morning H1242 cloud H6051
And like the dew H2919 which goes H1980 away early H7925.
Hos 6:5
Therefore H5921 H3651 I have hewn H2672 them in H2672 pieces H2672 by the prophets H5030;
I have killed H2026 them by the words H561 of My mouth H6310;
And the judgments H4941 on you are like the light H216 that goes H3318 forth H3318.
Hos 6:6
For I delight H2654 in lovingkindness H2617 rather H3808 than H3808 sacrifice H2077,
And in the knowledge H1847 of God H430 rather H4480 than H4480 burnt H5930 offerings H5930.
Hos 6:7
But like [fn]Adam H121 they have trespassed H5674 against the covenant H1285;
There H8033 they have dealt H898 treacherously H898 against Me.
Hos 6:8
Gilead H1568 is a city H7151 of workers H6466 of iniquity H205,
With a track H6121 of blood H1818.
Hos 6:9
And as raiders H1416 wait H2442 for a man H376,
So a band H2267 of priests H3548 murder H7523 on the way H1870 to Shechem H7927;
Surely H3588 they have committed H6213 lewdness H2154.
Hos 6:10
In the house H1004 of Israel H3478 I have seen H7200 an appalling H8186 thing H8186;
Ephraim’s H669 harlotry H2184 is there H8033; Israel H3478 has defiled H2930 itself.
Hos 6:11
Also H1571, O Judah H3063, there is a harvest H7105 set for you
When I restore H7725 the fortunes H7622 of My people H5971,
