THE CALL TO YISRA EL TO RETURN TO YAH VEH
Come, and return to Yah Veh: for he tears, and he heals us; he smites, and he binds us: 2 after two days he enlivens us; in the third day he raises us; and we live at his face. 3 And we know - we pursue to know Yah Veh: as the dawn he prepares his proceeding; and he comes to us as the downpour - as the after rain pouring to the earth. 4
THE RESPONSE OF YAH VEH
O Ephrayim, what work I to you? O Yah Hudah, what work I to you? For your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew, goes away. 5 So I hew them by the prophets; I slaughter them by the sayings of my mouth: and your judgments are as the light that comes forth. 6 For I desire mercy and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of Elohim more than holocausts. 7 And they, as humanity, trespass the covenant: there they deal covertly against me. 8 Gilad is a city of doers of mischief and trips with blood: 9 and as troops await a man, a commune of priests murders in the way to Shechem: for they work intrigue. 10 I see horror in the house of Yisra El: - the whoredom of Ephrayim, Yisra El defiles. 11 Also, O Yah Hudah, I set a harvest for you when I restore the captivity of my people.
