Hosea6

Israel and Judah Are Unrepentant
1“Come, let us 6:1 ch. 14:1; [ch. 3:5] return to the Lord;
for 6:1 ch. 5:14; [ch. 13:7, 8] he has torn us, that he may heal us;
he has struck us down, and 6:1 [Isa. 30:26]he will bind us up.
2After two days 6:2 Ps. 71:20; [Luke 24:27, 44; John 2:22; 20:9; 1 Cor. 15:4]he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.
36:3 [ch. 4:6] Let us know; 6:3 [ch. 4:6] let us press on to know the Lord;
6:3 Mic. 5:2his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us 6:3 [ch. 14:5] as the showers,
6:3 Joel 2:23as the spring rains that water the earth.”

4What shall I do with you, 6:4 [ch. 11:8] O 6:4 ver. 10, 11; ch. 4:15; 5:5; 8:14; 10:11; 11:12; 12:1, 2; See ch. 5:9-14Ephraim?
What shall I do with you, O 6:4 ver. 6:10, 11; ch. 4:15; 5:5; 8:14; 10:11; 11:12; 12:1, 2; See ch. 5:9-14Judah?
Your love is 6:4 ch. 13:3like a morning cloud,
6:4 ch. 13:3like the dew that goes early away.
5Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets;
I have slain them 6:5 Jer. 23:29; [Heb. 4:12]by the words of my mouth,
and my judgment goes forth as the light.
6For 6:6 Cited Matt. 9:13; 12:7; [1 Sam. 15:22] I desire steadfast love6:6 Septuagint mercy and not sacrifice,
6:6 [ch. 2:20]the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

7But 6:7 [Gen. 3:11; Job 31:33; Rom. 5:14] like Adam they 6:7 ch. 8:1; Deut. 17:2transgressed the covenant;
6:7 ch. 5:7there they dealt faithlessly with me.
86:8 [ch. 12:11] Gilead is a city of evildoers,
6:8 See ch. 4:2tracked with blood.
9As robbers 6:9 [ch. 5:1; 7:6] lie in wait for a man,
so the priests band together;
they murder on the way to 6:9 Josh. 24:1Shechem;
they commit villainy.
10In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing;
6:10 ch. 5:3; 7:4; [ch. 4:2, 12, 14; 9:10] Ephraim’s whoredom is there; 6:10 See ver. 4Israel is defiled.

11For you also, O 6:11 [See ver. 10above] Judah, 6:11 See Joel 3:13a harvest is appointed.

When 6:11 Ps. 126:1; [Job 42:10]I restore the fortunes of my people,
