| Hosea 6: (YLT) |
| 1) 'Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up. |
| 2) He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him. |
| 3) And we know -- we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain -- sprinkling earth.' |
| 4) What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early -- going. |
| 5) Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth. |
| 6) For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings. |
| 7) And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me. |
| 8) Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood. |
| 9) And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder -- the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done. |
| 10) In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim -- defiled is Israel. |
| 11) Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people! |
