A Call to Repentance
1 Come,a and let us return to the Lord;
For bHe has torn, but cHe will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will1 bind us up.
For bHe has torn, but cHe will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will1 bind us up.
2 aAfter two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
3 aLet us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established bas the morning;
cHe will come to us dlike the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established bas the morning;
cHe will come to us dlike the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
Impenitence of Israel and Judah
4 “O Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
O Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
And like the early dew it goes away.
O Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
And like the early dew it goes away.
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets,
I have slain them by athe words of My mouth;
And1 your judgments are like light that goes forth.
I have slain them by athe words of My mouth;
And1 your judgments are like light that goes forth.
