Dual Panel1Come <03212> (8798)_, and let us return <07725> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>_: for he hath torn <02963> (8804)_, and he will heal <07495> (8799) us; he hath smitten <05221> (8686)_, and he will bind us up <02280> (8799)_.
2After two days <03117> will he revive <02421> (8762) us: in the third <07992> day <03117> he will raise us up <06965> (8686)_, and we shall live <02421> (8799) in his sight <06440>_.
3Then shall we know <03045> (8799)_, [if] we follow <07291> (8799) on to know <03045> (8800) the LORD <03068>_: his going forth <04161> is prepared <03559> (8737) as the morning <07837>_; and he shall come <0935> (8799) unto us as the rain <01653>_, as the latter <04456> [and] former rain <03384> (8802) unto the earth <0776>_.
4O Ephraim <0669>_, what shall I do <06213> (8799) unto thee? O Judah <03063>_, what shall I do <06213> (8799) unto thee? for your goodness <02617> [is] as a morning <01242> cloud <06051>_, and as the early <07925> (8688) dew <02919> it goeth away <01980> (8802)_. {goodness: or, mercy, or, kindness}
5Therefore have I hewed <02672> (8804) [them] by the prophets <05030>_; I have slain <02026> (8804) them by the words <0561> of my mouth <06310>_: and thy judgments <04941> [are as] the light <0216> [that] goeth forth <03318> (8799)_. {and...: or, that thy judgments might be, etc}
6For I desired <02654> (8804) mercy <02617>_, and not sacrifice <02077>_; and the knowledge <01847> of God <0430> more than burnt offerings <05930>_.
7But they like men <0120> have transgressed <05674> (8804) the covenant <01285>_: there have they dealt treacherously <0898> (8804) against me. {men: or, Adam}
8Gilead <01568> [is] a city <07151> of them that work <06466> (8802) iniquity <0205>_, [and is] polluted <06121> with blood <01818>_. {polluted: or, cunning for}
9And as troops <01416> of robbers wait <02442> (8763) for a man <0376>_, [so] the company <02267> of priests <03548> murder <07523> (8762) in the way <01870> by consent <07926> (8677) <07927>_: for they commit <06213> (8804) lewdness <02154>_. {by...: Heb. with one shoulder, or, to Shechem} {lewdness: or, enormity}
10I have seen <07200> (8804) an horrible thing <08186> in the house <01004> of Israel <03478>_: there [is] the whoredom <02184> of Ephraim <0669>_, Israel <03478> is defiled <02930> (8738)_.
11Also, O Judah <03063>_, he hath set <07896> (8804) an harvest <07105> for thee, when I returned <07725> (8800) the captivity <07622> of my people <05971>_.
