028:006:001
Come,
and let us return unto the LORD:
for he hath torn,
and he will heal us;
he hath smitten,
and he will bind us up.

028:006:002
After two days will he revive us:
in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight.

028:006:003
Then shall we know,
if we follow on to know the LORD:
his going forth is prepared as the morning;
and he shall come unto us as the rain,
as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

028:006:004
O Ephraim,
what shall I do unto thee?
O Judah,
what shall I do unto thee?
for your goodness is as a morning cloud,
and as the early dew it goeth away.

028:006:005
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets;
I have slain them by the words of my mouth:
and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.

028:006:006
For I desired mercy,
and not sacrifice;
and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

028:006:007
But they like men have transgressed the covenant:
there have they dealt treacherously against me.

028:006:008
Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity,
and is polluted with blood.

028:006:009
And as troops of robbers wait for a man,
so the company of priests murder in the way by consent:
for they commit lewdness.

028:006:010
I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel:
there is the whoredom of Ephraim,
Israel is defiled.

028:006:011
Also,
O Judah,
he hath set an harvest for thee,
when I returned the captivity of my people.
