Hosea 6:2-4

Contemporary English Version

²In two or three days
    he will heal us
and restore our strength
    that we may live with him.
³Let's do our best
    to know the Lord.
His coming is as certain
    as the morning sun;
he will refresh us like rain
renewing the earth
    in the springtime.

The Lord Speaks to Israel and Judah

⁴People of Israel and Judah,
what can I do with you?
Your love for me disappears
more quickly than mist
or dew at sunrise.
