Come, and let us return to Jehovah, for he has torn, and he will heal us. He has smitten, and he will bind us up.

After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.

3 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.

And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is sure as the morning, and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.

O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goes away early.

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

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

But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant. There they have dealt treacherously against me.
