Hosea 6

1Come, and let us return unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): for he has torn, and he will heal us; he has smitten, and he will bind us up.

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

3Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): 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.

4O Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], what shall I do unto youi? O Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], what shall I do unto youi? for your goodness [is] as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.

5Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and youri judgments [are as] the light [that] goes forth.

6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] more than burnt offerings.

7But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

8Gil’ad [Rocky Region] [is] a city of them that work iniquity, [and is] polluted with blood.

9And as troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

10I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: there [is] the whoredom of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] is defiled.

11Also, O Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], he has set an harvest for youi, when I returned the captivity of my people.
