1. “Come, let us return to the Lord;for he has torn us, that he may heal us;he has struck us down, and he will bind us up.
2. After two days he will revive us;on the third day he will raise us up,that we may live before him.
3. Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn;he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”
4. What shall I do with you, O Ephraim?What shall I do with you, O Judah?Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.
5. Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets;I have slain them by the words of my mouth,and my judgment goes forth as the light.
