2He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.
3And we know -- we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain -- sprinkling earth.`
4What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early -- going.
5Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.
6For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
7And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.
8Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
