1"Come, let us return to the LORD; even though he has torn us, he will heal us. Even though he has wounded us, he will bind our wounds. 1Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds.
2After two days, he will restore us to life, on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his presence.2After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
3Let us know, let us pursue knowledge of the LORD; his coming is as certain as the dawn. He will come to us like the rain, like the autumn and spring rains come on the earth.3So let us know—let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.
4"What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your love is like a morning rain cloud— it passes away like the morning dew.4What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.

8Gilead is a lawless town; it is polluted by bloodshed.8Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.
9Like a gang of thieves that stalk a man, priests commit murder along the road to Shechem, committing shameful crimes.9Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities.
10I have seen a horrible evil in the house of Israel— Ephraim's promiscuity. Israel is defiled.10In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.
