1 - `Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.

2 - He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.

3 - And we know--we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain--sprinkling earth.'

4 - What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness <FI>is<Fi> as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early--going.

5 - Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.

6 - For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.

7 - And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.

8 - Gilead <FI>is<Fi> a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.

9 - And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder--the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.

10 - In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There <FI>is<Fi> the whoredom of Ephraim--defiled is Israel.

11 - Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back <FI>to<Fi> the captivity of My people!
