After two days he will revive us;(A)
    on the third day(B) he will restore(C) 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,(D)
    like the spring rains that water the earth.(E)

“What can I do with you, Ephraim?(F)
    What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
    like the early dew that disappears.(G)
Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
    I killed you with the words of my mouth(H)
    then my judgments go forth like the sun.[a](I)
