¹⁵“I will abandon my people until they have suffered enough for their sins and come looking for me. Perhaps in their suffering they will try to find me.”

The People’s Insincere Repentance

6The people say, “Let’s return to the Lord! He has hurt us, but he will be sure to heal us; he has wounded us, but he will bandage our wounds, won’t he? ²In two or three days he will revive us, and we will live in his presence. ³Let us try to know the Lord. He will come to us as surely as the day dawns, as surely as the spring rains that water the earth.”

Read in Logos

Hosea 6:3: Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”
