Hosea 何西阿书06

6"Come, let us return to the Lord . He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind¹ up our wounds.
2After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
3Let us acknowledge the Lord ; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth."
4"What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears.
5Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets, I killed you with the words of my mouth; my judgments² flashed like lightning upon you.
6For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
7Like Adam, they have broken the covenant- they were unfaithful to me there.
8Gilead is a city of wicked men, stained with footprints of blood.
9As marauders lie in ambush³ for a man, so do bands of priests; they murder on the road to Shechem, committing shameful⁴ crimes.
10I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel. There Ephraim is given to prostitution and Israel is defiled⁵.
11"Also for you, Judah, a harvest is appointed. "Whenever I would restore the fortunes of my people
