Osee 6

1 In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will strike, and bind us up.

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 heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [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 let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to 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 to you, Ephraim? What shall I do to you, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes 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 Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgement shall go forth as the light.

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 will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings.

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

7 But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:

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

8 there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.

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

9 And your strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.

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

10 I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are 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 begin together grapes for yourself, when I turn the captivity of my people.

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