Hosea 6 LSV

1. “Come, and we turn back to YHWH, for He has torn, and He heals us, he strikes, and He binds us up.

2. He revives us after two days, in the third day He raises us up, and we live before Him.

3. 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 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. 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 kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, and a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.

7. And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, there they dealt treacherously against Me.

8. Gilead is a city of workers of iniquity, slippery from blood.

9. And as bands wait for a man, a company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, for they have done wickedness.

10. In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, there is the whoredom of Ephraim—Israel is defiled.

11. Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, in My turning back to the captivity of My people!”
