1. Come, and let us return unto the Lord; for he has torn, and he will heal us; he has smitten, and he will bind us up.
2. After two days he shall give us life: in the third day he will resurrect us, and we shall live in his sight.
3. And we shall know and follow on in knowing the Lord; his going forth is prepared as the dawn; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
4. O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? Your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.
