A Call to Repentance

  1Come,⚓ and let us return to the Lord;
   For ⚓He has torn, but ⚓He will heal us;
   He has stricken, but 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 in His sight.
    3⚓Let us know,
   Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
   His going forth is established ⚓as the morning;
   ⚓He will come to us ⚓like the rain,
   Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

Impenitence of Israel and Judah

  4“O Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
   O Judah, what shall I do to you?
   For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
   And like the early dew it goes away.
    5Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets,
   I have slain them by ⚓the words of My mouth;
   And your judgments are like light that goes forth.
    6For I desire ⚓mercy and ⚓not sacrifice,
   And the ⚓knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
   7“But like men they transgressed the covenant;
   There they dealt treacherously with Me.
    8⚓Gilead is a city of evildoers
   And defiled with blood.
    9As bands of robbers lie in wait for a man,
   So the company of ⚓priests ⚓murder on the way to Shechem;
   Surely they commit ⚓lewdness.
    10I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel:
   There is the harlotry of Ephraim;
   Israel is defiled.
    11Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you,
   When I return the captives of My people.
