< 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 we turn back to YHWH, For He has torn, and He heals us, He strikes, and He binds 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.
He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we 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 we know—we pursue to know YHWH, His going forth is prepared as the dawn, And He comes in as a shower to us, As spring rain [and] autumn rain to 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.
“What do I do to you, O Ephraim? What do I do to you, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early—going.
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 I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to the light.
6 For covenant loyalty I desire and not sacrifice and [the] knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
7 And they like Adam they have transgressed [the] covenant there they dealt treacherously with me.
And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
8 Gilead [is] a town of doers of wickedness tracked from blood.
Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from 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 bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, 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, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!”
