Hosea 6
=======

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

  3  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  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  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 I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

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

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

  9  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  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 hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
