Hosea 6

1 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.

In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Come, let us return to the Lord.

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

For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us.

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.

He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his sight. We will understand, and we will continue on, so that we may know the Lord. His landing place has been prepared like the first light of morning, and he will come to us like the early and the late rains of the land.

4 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.

What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your mercy is like the morning mist, and like the dew passing away in the morning.

5 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.

Because of this, I have cut them with the prophets, I have slain them with the words of my mouth; and your opinions will depart like the light.

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

For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts.

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

But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; in this, they have been dishonest with me.

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

Gilead is a city that manufactures idols; it has been tripped up by family relations.

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

And, like those who rob with skillful words, they, by conspiring with the priests, bring a death sentence to travelers on a pilgrimage from Shechem; for they have been performing evil deeds.

10 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.

I have seen horrible things in the house of Israel; the fornications of Ephraim are there. Israel has been contaminated.

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

But you, Judah, set a harvest for yourself, while I reverse the captivity of my people.
