1. In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us;
|
1. Come H1980 , and let us return H7725 unto H413 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 he H1931 hath torn H2963 , and he will heal H7495 us ; he hath smitten H5221 , and he will bind us up H2280 .
|
|
2. he will smite, and bind us up.
|
2. After two days H4480 H3117 will he revive H2421 us : in the third H7992 day H3117 he will raise us up H6965 , and we shall live H2421 in his sight H6440 .
|
|
3. After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know him:
|
3. Then shall we know H3045 , if we follow on H7291 to know H3045 H853 the LORD H3068 : his going forth H4161 is prepared H3559 as the morning H7837 ; and he shall come H935 unto us as the rain H1653 , as the latter H4456 and former rain H3138 unto the earth H776 .
|
|
4. let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.
|
4. O Ephraim H669 , what H4100 shall I do H6213 unto thee? O Judah H3063 , what H4100 shall I do H6213 unto thee? for your goodness H2617 is as a morning H1242 cloud H6051 , and as the early H7925 dew H2919 it goeth away H1980 .
|
|
5. What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your Comp. Heb. and Da 9:16 mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.
|
5. Therefore H5921 H3651 have I hewed H2672 them by the prophets H5030 ; I have slain H2026 them by the words H561 of my mouth H6310 : and thy judgments H4941 are as the light H216 that goeth forth H3318 .
|
|
6. Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgement shall go forth as the light.
|
6. For H3588 I desired H2654 mercy H2617 , and not H3808 sacrifice H2077 ; and the knowledge H1847 of God H430 more than burnt offerings H4480 H5930 .
|
|
7. Mt 9:13 For I will have mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings.
|
7. But they H1992 like men H120 have transgressed H5674 the covenant H1285 : there H8033 have they dealt treacherously H898 against me.
|
|
8. But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:
|
8. Gilead H1568 is a city H7151 of them that work H6466 iniquity H205 , and is polluted H6121 with blood H4480 H1818 .
|
|
9. there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.
|
9. And as troops of robbers H1416 wait H2442 for a man H376 , so the company H2267 of priests H3548 murder H7523 in the way H1870 by consent H7926 : for H3588 they commit H6213 lewdness H2154 .
|
|
10. And thy strength is that of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered the people of Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.
|
10. I have seen H7200 a horrible thing H8186 in the house H1004 of Israel H3478 : there H8033 is the whoredom H2184 of Ephraim H669 , Israel H3478 is defiled H2930 .
|
|
11. I have seen horrible things there, even the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;
|
11. Also H1571 , O Judah H3063 , he hath set H7896 a harvest H7105 for thee , when I returned H7725 the captivity H7622 of my people H5971 .
|
|
12. begin together grapes for thyself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
|
12.
