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.

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

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.

After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

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.

Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth.

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.

O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness [is] as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

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.

Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments [are as] the light [that] goeth forth.

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 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 they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

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

Gilead [is] a city of them that work iniquity, [and is] polluted with blood.

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 as troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

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 an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [is] the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

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

Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
