¹“Come, let us return to the Lord.He has torn us to pieces;now he will heal us.He has injured us;now he will bandage our wounds. ²In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence. ³Oh, that we might know the Lord!Let us press on to know him.He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawnor the coming of rains in early spring.” ⁴“O Israel#6:4 Hebrew Ephraim, referring to the northern kingdom of Israel. and Judah, what should I do with you?” asks the Lord.“For your love vanishes like the morning mistand disappears like dew in the sunlight. ⁵I sent my prophets to cut you to pieces - to slaughter you with my words, with judgments as inescapable as light. ⁶I want you to show love, #6:6a Greek version translates this Hebrew term as to show mercy. Compare Matt 9:13; 12:7.not offer sacrifices.I want you to know me#6:6b Hebrew to know God.more than I want burnt offerings. ⁷But like Adam, #6:7 Or But at Adam. you broke my covenantand betrayed my trust. ⁸“Gilead is a city of sinners, tracked with footprints of blood. ⁹Priests form bands of robbers, waiting in ambush for their victims.They murder travelers along the road to Shechemand practice every kind of sin. ¹⁰Yes, I have seen something horrible in Ephraim and Israel:My people are defiled by prostituting themselves with other gods! ¹¹“O Judah, a harvest of punishment is also waiting for you, though I wanted to restore the fortunes of my people.
