Hosea 6:1-7
1Come, let us return to the LORD.
For He has torn us to pieces,but He will heal us;He has wounded us,but He will bind up our wounds.2After two days He will revive us;on the third day He will raise us up,that we may live in His presence.3So let us know—let us press on to know the LORD.As surely as the sun rises,He will appear;He will come to us like the rain,like the spring showers that water the earth.
4What shall I do with you, O Ephraim1?What shall I do with you, O Judah?For your loyalty is like a morning mist,like the early dew that vanishes.5Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets;I have slain them by the words of My mouth,and My judgments go forth like lightning.6For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,2and the knowledge of Godrather than burnt offerings.
