劝民转而识主

来吧,我们归向耶和华!他撕裂我们,也必医治;他打伤我们,也必缠裹。 过两天他必使我们苏醒,第三天他必使我们兴起,我们就在他面前得以存活。 我们务要认识耶和华,竭力追求认识他。他出现确如晨光,他必临到我们像甘雨,像滋润田地的春雨。

责其虚妄

主说:“以法莲哪,我可向你怎样行呢?犹大啊,我可向你怎样做呢?因为你们的良善如同早晨的云雾,又如速散的甘露。 因此,我借先知砍伐他们,以我口中的话杀戮他们,我施行的审判如光发出。 我喜爱良善[a],不喜爱祭祀;喜爱认识神,胜于燔祭。 他们却如亚当背约,在境内向我行事诡诈。 基列是作孽之人的城,被血沾染。 强盗成群,怎样埋伏杀人,祭司结党,也照样在示剑的路上杀戮,行了邪恶。 10 以色列家我见了可憎的事,在以法莲那里有淫行,以色列被玷污。 11 犹大啊,我使被掳之民归回的时候,必有为你所命定的收场。

Israel Unrepentant

“Come, let us return(A) to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces(B)
    but he will heal us;(C)
he has injured us
    but he will bind up our wounds.(D)
After two days he will revive us;(E)
    on the third day(F) he will restore(G) us,
    that we may live in his presence.
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)

“What can I do with you, Ephraim?(J)
    What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
    like the early dew that disappears.(K)
Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
    I killed you with the words of my mouth(L)
    then my judgments go forth like the sun.[a](M)
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,(N)
    and acknowledgment(O) of God rather than burnt offerings.(P)
As at Adam,[b] they have broken the covenant;(Q)
    they were unfaithful(R) to me there.
Gilead is a city of evildoers,(S)
    stained with footprints of blood.
As marauders lie in ambush for a victim,(T)
    so do bands of priests;
they murder(U) on the road to Shechem,
    carrying out their wicked schemes.(V)
10 I have seen a horrible(W) thing in Israel:
    There Ephraim is given to prostitution,
    Israel is defiled.(X)

11 “Also for you, Judah,
    a harvest(Y) is appointed.

“Whenever I would restore the fortunes(Z) of my people,
