Hosea 6

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 so let us return to Yahweh for he he has torn to pieces and he will heal us he has struck and he will bind up us.

2 After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.

He will restore to life us from two days on the day third he will raise up us and we may live before him.

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.

And let us know let us pursue to know Yahweh like [the] dawn [is] steadfast going forth his so he may come like the rain to us like [the] spring rain [which] it waters [the] land.

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? will I do to you O Ephraim what? will I do to you O Judah and loyalty your [is] like a cloud of [the] morning and like dew rising early going.

5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.

There-fore I will cut [them] in pieces by the prophets I will kill them by [the] words of mouth my and judgments your [is] light [which] it goes forth.

6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

For covenant loyalty I desire and not sacrifice and [the] knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

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

And they like Adam they have transgressed [the] covenant there they dealt treacherously with me.

8 Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.

Gilead [is] a town of doers of wickedness tracked from blood.

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.

And as wait for a person marauding bands an association of priests [the] way they murder Shechem towards for wickedness they have done.

10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.

In [the] house of Israel I have seen (a horrible [thing] *Q(k)*) [is] there prostitution [belongs] to Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.

11 Also for you, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, when I restore My people from captivity.

Also O Judah he has appointed a harvest for you when turn back I [the] captivity of people my.
