Chapter 6 | |
1 | Come, and let
us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will 1heal 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 | 1For 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. |
