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 the LORD;
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 E'phraim?
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.
