Hosea 6:1-3

Israel and Judah Are Unrepentant

¹ "Come, let us _y return to the Lord;
for _z he has torn us, that he may heal us;
he has struck us down, and _a he will bind us up.
² After two days _b he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.
³ _c Let us know; _c let us press on to know the Lord;
_d his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us _e as the showers,
_f as the spring rains that water the earth."
