Hosea 6:1-8 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
"Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn, that he may heal us; he has stricken, and he will bind us up.
2
After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.
3
Let us know, let us press on to know the LORD; his going forth is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth."
4
What shall I do with you, O E'phraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.
5
Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth as the light.
6
For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.
7
But at Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.
8
Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood.
