6 “Come, let us return to the Lord;
    even though he has torn us,^[a]
        he will heal us.
Even though he has wounded us,
    he will bind our wounds.^[b]
2 After two days, he will restore us to life,
    on the third day he will raise us up,
        and we will live in his presence.
³ Let us know,
    let us pursue knowledge of the Lord;
        his coming is as certain as the dawn.
He will come to us like the rain,
    like the autumn and spring rains come on the earth.
