Hosea 5:15–6:3

¹⁵I will return again to my place

until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face.

In their distress they will beg my favor:^*

A Call to Repentance

⁶“Come, let us return to the Lord,

for it is he who has torn, and he will heal us;

he has struck down, and he will bind us up.^*

²After two days he will revive us;

on the third day he will raise us up,

that we may live before him.

³Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord;

his appearing is as sure as the dawn;

he will come to us like the showers,

like the spring rains that water the earth.”^*
