Hosea 6:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 6:2

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.

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.

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.

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.
