Hosea 6
1Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.2After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.3Then shall we know, <add>if</add> we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter <add>and</add> former rain unto the earth.
4O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness <add>is</add> as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.5Therefore have I hewed <add>them</add> by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments <add>are as</add> the light <add>that</add> goeth forth.6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.7But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.8Gilead <add>is</add> a city of them that work iniquity, <add>and is</add> polluted with blood.9And as troops of robbers wait for a man, <add>so</add> the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.10I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there <add>is</add> the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.11Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
