“‘Come, let us return to the Lord; it is he who has torn us—he will heal us. He has wounded—he will bind us up. In just a couple of days,[a] or three at the most, he will set us on our feet again to live in his kindness! Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him, and he will respond to us as surely as the coming of dawn or the rain of early spring.’”

  1. Hosea 6:2 In just a couple of days, literally, “In two days.”

Israel Unrepentant

“Come, let us return(A) to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces(B)

After two days he will revive us;(E)
    on the third day(F) he will restore(G) us,

Let us acknowledge the Lord;
    let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
    he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,(H)
    like the spring rains that water the earth.(I)
