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 to Jehovah! 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, On the third day he will raise us up, And we shall live in his presence,

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.

Let us, therefore, know him; Let us ever strive to know Jehovah, His coming forth is sure as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter rain which watereth 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 to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? For your goodness is like the morning cloud, And like the early dew, which vanisheth 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 I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth, And my judgments have gone forth 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 the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.

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

But they, after the manner of men, have transgressed the covenant; Even therein have they dealt unfaithfully with me.

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

Gilead is a city of them that do iniquity; She is full of footsteps of 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.

As troops of robbers lying in wait for a man, so is the company of priests; They murder in the way to Shechem; Yea, they commit heinous wickedness.

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 a horrible thing in the house of Israel; There Ephraim committeth fornication, Israel is polluted.

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

For thee also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed.
