6 “Come, let us return to the Lord,
for it is he who has torn, and he will heal us;
he has struck down, and he will bind us up.(B)

on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.

his appearing is as sure as the dawn;
he will come to us like the showers,
like the spring rains that water the earth.”(C)
