< Osee Propheta 6 >
1 in tribulatione sua mane consurgunt ad me venite et revertamur ad Dominum
'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 quia ipse cepit et sanabit nos percutiet et curabit nos
After two days will He revive us, on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
3 vivificabit nos post duos dies in die tertia suscitabit nos et vivemus in conspectu eius sciemus sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum quasi diluculum praeparatus est egressus eius et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terrae

9 et quasi fauces virorum latronum particeps sacerdotum in via interficientium pergentes de Sychem quia scelus operati sunt

10 in domo Israhel vidi horrendum ibi fornicationes Ephraim contaminatus est Israhel
