1`Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.

1In their affliction they will rise early to me: Come, and let us return to the Lord.

2He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.

2For he hath taken us, and he will heal us: he will strike, and he will cure us.

3And we know--we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain--sprinkling earth.'

3He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. We shall know, and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light, and he will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth.

4What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness <FI>is<Fi> as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early--going.

4What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth away in the morning.

5Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.

5For this reason have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments shall go forth as the light.

6For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.

6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts.

7And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.

7But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant, there have they dealt treacherously against me.

8Gilead <FI>is<Fi> a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.

8Galaad is a city of workers of idols, supplanted with blood.

9And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder--the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.

9And like the jaws of highway robbers, they conspire with the priests who murder in the way those that pass out of Sichem: for they have wrought wickedness.

10In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There <FI>is<Fi> the whoredom of Ephraim--defiled is Israel.

10I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: the fornications of Ephraim there: Israel is defiled.

11Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back <FI>to<Fi> the captivity of My people!

11And thou also, O Juda, set thee a harvest, when I shall bring back the captivity of my people.
