Hosea 6 – Studienbibel

1 Come3212, and let us return7725 unto the LORD3068: for he hath torn2963, and he will heal7495 us; he hath smitten5221, and he will bind us up2280. 2 After two days3117 will he revive2421 us: in the third7992 day3117 he will raise us up6965, and we shall live2421 in his sight6440. 3 Then shall we know3045, if we follow7291 on to know3045 the LORD3068: his going forth4161 is prepared3559 as the morning7837; and he shall come935 unto us as the rain1653, as the latter4456 and former rain3384 unto the earth776.

4 O Ephraim669, what shall I do6213 unto thee? O Judah3063, what shall I do6213 unto thee? for your goodness2617 is as a morning1242 cloud6051, and as the early7925 dew2919 it goeth away1980.¹ 5 Therefore have I hewed2672 them by the prophets5030; I have slain2026 them by the words561 of my mouth6310: and thy judgments4941 are as the light216 that goeth forth3318.² 6 For I desired2654 mercy2617, and not sacrifice2077; and the knowledge1847 of God430 more than burnt offerings5930. [Mt 9,13; Mt 12,7] 7 But they like men120 have transgressed5674 the covenant1285: there have they dealt treacherously898 against me.³ 8 Gilead1568 is a city7151 of them that work6466 iniquity205, and is polluted6121 with blood1818.⁴ 9 And as troops1416 of robbers wait2442 for a man376, so the company2267 of priests3548 murder7523 in the way1870 by consent7926 7927: for they commit6213 lewdness2154.⁵⁶ 10 I have seen7200 an horrible thing8186 in the house1004 of Israel3478: there is the whoredom2184 of Ephraim669, Israel3478 is defiled2930. 11 Also, O Judah3063, he hath set7896 an harvest7105 for thee, when I returned7725 the captivity7622 of my people5971.
