Hosea 6:3-5
New Century Version

     3 and know him.
Let’s try to learn about the Lord;
    he will come to us as surely as the dawn comes.
He will come to us like rain,
    like the spring rain that waters the ground.”

4 The Lord says, “Israel, what should I do with you?
    Judah, what should I do with you?
Your faithfulness is like a morning mist,
    like the dew that goes away early in the day.
5 I have warned you by my prophets
    that I will kill you and destroy you.
    My justice comes out like bright light.

3 Let us acknowledge the Lord;

    like the spring rains that water the earth.(B)”

    I killed you with the words of my mouth(E)—
    then my judgments go forth like the sun.[a](F)
