Hosea 6

1 Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.

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 give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.

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 And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering 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 O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.

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 So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;

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 Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.

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

7 But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.

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

8 Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.

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

9 And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.

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 Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;

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 And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.

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