The Response to God’s Rebuke

1 a“Come, let us return to the Lord.
For bHe has torn us, but cHe will heal us;
He has ▼
▼ Lit struck
wounded us, but He will ebandage us.
 2“He will frevive us after two days;
He will graise us up on the third day,
That we may live before Him.
 3“So let us hknow, let us press on to know the Lord.
His igoing forth is as certain as the dawn;
And He will come to us like the jrain,
Like the spring rain watering the earth.”

 4What shall I do with you, O kEphraim?
What shall I do with you, O Judah?
For your ▼
▼ Or lovingkindness
loyalty is like a mmorning cloud
And like the dew which goes away early.
 5Therefore I have nhewn them in pieces by the prophets;
I have slain them by the owords of My mouth;
And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth.
 6For pI delight in loyalty qrather than sacrifice,
And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
 7But rlike ▼
▼ Or men
Adam they have ttransgressed the covenant;
There they have udealt treacherously against Me.
 8 vGilead is a city of wrongdoers,
Tracked with wbloody footprints.
 9And as xraiders wait for a man,
So a band of priests ymurder on the way to Shechem;
Surely they have committed ▼
▼ Or lewdness
 , aacrime.
 10In the house of Israel I have seen a abhorrible thing;
Ephraim’s acharlotry is there, Israel has defiled itself.
 11Also, O Judah, there is a adharvest appointed for you,
When I aerestore the fortunes of My people.
