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
2
After
two
days
will
he
revive
us:
in
the
third
day
he
will
raise
us
up,
and
we
shall
live
in
his
sight.
3
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.

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.
5
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.
6
For
I
desired
mercy,
and
not
sacrifice;
and
the
knowledge
of
God
more
than
burnt
offerings.
7
But
they
like
men
have
transgressed
the
covenant:
there
have
they
dealt
treacherously
against
8
Gilead
[is]
a
city
of
them
that
work
iniquity,
[and
is]
polluted
with
blood.
9
And
as
troops
of
robbers
wait
for
a
man,
[so]
the
company
of
priests
murder
in
the
way
by
consent:
for
they
commit
lewdness.
10
I
have
seen
an
horrible
thing
in
the
house
of
Israel:
there
[is]
the
whoredom
of
Ephraim,
Israel
is
defiled.
11
Also,
O
Judah,
he
hath
set
an
harvest
for
thee,
when
I
returned
the
captivity
of
my
people.
