Hoshea 6
6
1Come, and let us return unto Hashem; for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath struck, and He will bind us up.
2After two days He will revive us; in the Yom HaShelishi He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.
3Then shall we know, if we follow on to know Hashem; His going forth is prepared as the shachar (dawn); and He shall come unto us as the geshem (winter rain), as the malkosh (spring rain)#6:3 i.e., as the latter and former rain, which is the winter and spring rain unto ha'aretz.
4O Ephrayim, what shall I do unto thee? O Yehudah, what shall I do with thee? For your chesed (faithfulness, loyalty) is as an anan boker (morning cloud), and as the early dew that disappears.
5Therefore have I cut them to pieces with the nevi'im; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; thy mishpatim are as the ohr (light, lightning) that goeth forth.
6For I desired chesed, and not zevach; and the da'as Elohim more than olot (burnt offerings).#6:6 Mt 9:13
7But they are like Adam, they have transgressed the brit (covenant); there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
8Gil'ad is a city of evil-doers, is trodden with dahm.
9And as gedudim (marauders) lie in wait for a man, so the chever (band) [of] kohanim murder in the way to Shechem; for they commit shameful crimes.
10I have seen a horrible thing in Bais Yisroel: there is the zenut (whoredom) of Ephrayim; Yisroel is tameh (unclean, defiled).
11Also, O Yehudah, he hath set a katzir (harvest) [of punishment] for thee, when I turn the Shevut Ami (Captivity of My people).#6:11 i.e., restore their fortunes
