Hoshea - Hosea - Chapter 6
Chapter 6
| 1. Come and let us return to the Lord, for He has torn and He shall heal us; He smites, and He will bind us up. |
|
א. |
| 2. He will revive us from the two days, on the third day He will set us up, and we will live before Him. |
|
ב. |
| 3. And let us know, let us strive to know the Lord: like the dawn whose going forth is sure, and He will come to us like rain, like the latter rain which satisfies the earth. |
|
ג. |
| 4. What shall I do for you, Ephraim? What shall I do for you, Judah? For your loving-kindness is like a morning cloud and like the dew that passes away early. |
|
ד. |
| 5. Because I have hewed by the prophets, I have put them to death because of the words of My mouth; now will your verdicts come out to the light? |
|
ה. |
| 6. For I desire loving-kindness, and not sacrifices, and knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. |
|
ו. |

|
ז. |
| 8. Gilead is a city of workers of them that work iniquity, who lurk to shed blood. |

|
ט. |
| 10. In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there, harlotry [is found] in Ephraim; Israel has become defiled. |
|
