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 unto 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 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 let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that 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 unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early 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 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 covenant loyalty I desire and not sacrifice and [the] knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

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

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

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

Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is stained with 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 troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness.

10 In [the] house of Israel I have seen (a horrible [thing] *Qk) [is] there prostitution [belongs] to Ephraim it has made itself unclean Israel.

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there whoredom is [found] in 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, there is a harvest appointed for thee, when I bring back the captivity of my people.
