katapi HOME Hosea 6:1-7 - The people's insincere repentance.  Hs.6.1-7.26 1 "Come, let us return to Yahweh;
for he has torn, that he may heal us;
he has stricken, and he will bind us up.
6 2 After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.
6 3 Let us know, let us press on to know Yahweh;
his going forth is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us as the showers,
as the spring rains that water the earth."

6 4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim?
What shall I do with you, O Judah?
Your love is like a morning cloud,
like the dew that goes early away.
6 5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets,
I have slain them by the words of my mouth,
and my judgment goes forth as the light.
6 6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.

6 7 But at Adam they transgressed the covenant;
there they dealt faithlessly with me.
