Hosea 6

1 Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

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.

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

He will restore to life us from two days on the day third he will raise up us and we may live before him.

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 to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.

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.

4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness is as the 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.

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.

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

For covenant loyalty I desire 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.

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

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

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

And as wait for a person marauding bands an association of priests [the] way they murder Shechem towards for wickedness they have done.

10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the harlotry of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

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

11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.

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