Hosea 5:15–6:3

¹⁵I will return again to my place,

until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face,

and in their distress they seek me, saying,

Chapter 6

¹“Come, let us return to the Lord;

for he has torn, that he may heal us;

he has stricken, 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 going forth is sure as the dawn;

he will come to us as the showers,

as the spring rains that water the earth.”
