2 ^aAfter two days He will revive us;
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. ‡

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. ‡

6 For I desire ^amercy and ^bnot sacrifice,
And the ^cknowledge of God more than burnt offerings. ‡
