1 “Come, let’s go back to the Lord.He has hurt us, but he will heal us.He has wounded us, but he will bandage our wounds.
2 In two days he will put new life in us;on the third day he will raise us upso that we may live in his presence
3 and know him.Let’s try to learn about the Lord;he will come to us as surely as the dawn comes.He will come to us like rain,like the spring rain that waters the ground.”
4 The Lord says, “Israel, what should I do with you?Judah, what should I do with you?Your faithfulness is like a morning mist,like the dew that goes away early in the day.
