ASV_Strong : Hosea 6
1. Come[H3212], and let us return[H7725] unto Jehovah[H3068]; for he hath torn[H2963], and he will heal[H7495] us[H5221]; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up[H2280].
2. After two days[H3117] will he revive[H2421] us[H7992]: on the third day[H3117] he will raise us up[H6965], and we shall live[H2421] before him[H6440].
3. And let us know[H3045], let us follow[H7291] on to know[H3045] Jehovah[H3068]: his going forth[H4161] is sure[H3559] as the morning[H7837]; and he will come[H935] unto us as the rain[H1653], as the latter[H4456] rain[H3384] that watereth the earth[H776].
4. O Ephraim[H669], what shall I do[H6213] unto thee[H3063]? O Judah, what shall I do[H6213] unto thee[H2617]? for your goodness is as a morning[H1242] cloud[H6051], and as the dew[H2919] that goeth early[H7925] away[H1980].
5. Therefore have I hewed[H2672] them by the prophets[H5030]; I have slain[H2026] them by the words[H561] of my mouth[H6310]: and thy judgments[H4941] are as the light[H216] that goeth forth[H3318].
6. For I desire[H2654] goodness[H2617], and not sacrifice[H2077]; and the knowledge[H1847] of God[H430] more than burnt-offerings[H5930].
7. But they like Adam[H120] have transgressed[H5674] the covenant[H1285]: there have they dealt treacherously against me[H898].
8. Gilead[H1568] is a city[H7151] of them that work[H6466] iniquity[H205]; it is stained[H6121] with blood[H1818].
9. And as troops[H1416] of robbers wait[H2442] for a man[H376], so the company[H2267] of priests[H3548] murder[H7523] in the way[H1870] toward Shechem[H7926]; yea[H6213], they have committed lewdness[H2154].
10. In the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478] I have seen[H7200] a horrible thing[H8186]: there whoredom[H2184] is found in Ephraim[H669], Israel[H3478] is defiled[H2930].
11. Also[H3063], O Judah, there is a harvest[H7105] appointed[H7896] for thee[H7725], when I bring back the captivity[H7622] of my people[H5971].
