Hosea 6

A Call to Yahweh

1Come, let us return to Yahweh;

because it is he who has torn, and he will heal us;

he has struck us down and will bind us up.

on the third day he will raise us up,

3Let us know, let us press on to know Yahweh;

He will come like the showers to us,

4What will I do with you, O Ephraim?

Your love is like a morning cloud,

5Therefore, I have hewn them by the prophets;

6Because I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,

7But like Adam, they transgressed the covenant;

8Gilead is a city of evil,

9Like bandits lying in wait,

they murder on the road to Shechem;

10In the house of Israel I have seen something horrible;

Ephraim’s Guilt

11For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed,
