1
In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us;
2
he will smite, and bind us up.
3
After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know :
4
let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.
5
What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.
