Hos 6:2He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.
Hos 6:3And we know -- we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain -- sprinkling earth.'
Hos 6:4What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness is as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early -- going.
Hos 6:5Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.
Hos 6:6For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
Hos 6:7And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.
Hos 6:8Gilead is a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Hos 6:9And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder -- the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.
Hos 6:10In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There is the whoredom of Ephraim -- defiled is Israel.
Hos 6:11Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back to the captivity of My people!
