1. Come, let us return to Yahweh; because it is he who has torn, and he will heal us; he has struck us down and will bind us up.
2. He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live in his presence.
3. Let us know, let us press on to know Yahweh; his rising is sure like the dawn. He will come like the showers to us, like the spring rain that waters the earth.
4. What will I do with you, O Ephraim? What will I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early in the morning.
5. Therefore, I have hewn them by the prophets; I have killed them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth like the light.
