Hosea 6:1-3

International Children’s Bible

6 You people say,
    “Come, let’s go back to the Lord.
He has hurt us, but he will heal us.
    He has wounded us, but he will bandage our wounds.
² In a short while he will put new life in us.
    We will not have to wait long for him to raise us up.
    Then we may live in his presence.
³ Let’s learn about the Lord.
    Let’s try hard to know who he is.
He will come to us
    as surely as the dawn comes.
The Lord will come to us like the rain,
    like the spring rain that waters the ground.”
