1 Come, let us return to the Lord. For He has torn us, and He will heal us; He has wounded us,and He will bind up our wounds.
2 He will revive us after two days, and on the third day He will raise us upso we can live in His presence.
3 Let us strive to know the Lord. His appearance is as sure as the dawn. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the land.
4 What am I going to do with you, Ephraim? What am I going to do with you, Judah?Your loyalty is like the morning mist and like the early dew that vanishes.
