| 1 | In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Come, let us return to the Lord. | “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. | “Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. | |
| 2 | For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us. | After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. | After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. | |
| 3 | He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his sight. We will understand, and we will continue on, so that we may know the Lord. His landing place has been prepared like the first light of morning, and he will come to us like the early and the late rains of the land. | 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.” | Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” | |
| 4 | What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your mercy is like the morning mist, and like the dew passing away in the morning. | 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. | “What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears. | |
| 5 | Because of this, I have cut them with the prophets, I have slain them with the words of my mouth; and your opinions will depart like the light. | 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. | Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets, I killed you with the words of my mouth— then my judgments go forth like the sun. | |
| 6 | For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts. | For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. | For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. | |
| 7 | But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; in this, they have been dishonest with me. | But like Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me. | As at Adam, they have broken the covenant; they were unfaithful to me there. | |
| 8 | Gilead is a city that manufactures idols; it has been tripped up by family relations. | Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood. | Gilead is a city of evildoers, stained with footprints of blood. | |
| 9 | And, like those who rob with skillful words, they, by conspiring with the priests, bring a death sentence to travelers on a pilgrimage from Shechem; for they have been performing evil deeds. | As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests band together; they murder on the way to Shechem; they commit villainy. | As marauders lie in ambush for a victim, so do bands of priests; they murder on the road to Shechem, carrying out their wicked schemes. | |
| 10 | I have seen horrible things in the house of Israel; the fornications of Ephraim are there. Israel has been contaminated. | In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim’s whoredom is there; Israel is defiled. | I have seen a horrible thing in Israel: There Ephraim is given to prostitution, Israel is defiled. | |
| 11 | But you, Judah, set a harvest for yourself, while I reverse the captivity of my people. | For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed. When I restore the fortunes of my people, | “Also for you, Judah, a harvest is appointed. “Whenever I would restore the fortunes of my people, | |
