The Response to God’s Rebuke | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 "Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. | 1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. | 1 Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. | 1 In their affliction they will rise early to me: Come, and let us return to the Lord: | 1 'Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up. | 2 "He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, That we may live before Him. | 2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. | 2 After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. | 2 For he hath taken us, and he will heal us: he will strike, and he will cure us. | 2 He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him. | 3 "So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth." | 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. | 3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. | 3 He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. We shall know, and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light, and he will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth. | 3 And 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.' | 4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning cloud And like the dew which goes away early. | 4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. | 4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away. | 4 What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth away in the morning. | 4 What 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. | 5 Therefore I have hewn them in pieces by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth. | 5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. | 5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. | 5 For this reason have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments shall go forth as the light. | 5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. | 6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. | 6 For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings. | 6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts. | 6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings. | 7 But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant; There they have dealt treacherously against Me. | 7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. | 7 But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. | 7 But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant, there have they dealt treacherously against me. | 7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me. | 8 Gilead is a city of wrongdoers, Tracked with bloody footprints. | 8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood. | 8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is stained with blood. | 8 Galaad is a city of workers of idols, supplanted with blood. | 8 Gilead is a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood. | 9 And as raiders wait for a man, So a band of priests murder on the way to Shechem; Surely they have committed crime. | 9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. | 9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness. | 9 And like the jaws of highway robbers, they conspire with the priests who murder in the way those that pass out Sichem: for they have wrought wickedness. | 9 And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder -- the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done. | 10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim's harlotry is there, Israel has defiled itself. | 10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. | 10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there whoredom is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled. | 10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: the fornications of Ephraim there: Israel is defiled. | 10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There is the whoredom of Ephraim -- defiled is Israel. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, When I restore the fortunes of My people. | 11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people. | 11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee, when I bring back the captivity of my people. | 11 And thou also, O Juda, set thee a harvest, when I shall bring back captivity of my people. | 11 Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back to the captivity of My people! |
