Hosea 6:1-3

Contemporary English Version

6 Let's return to the Lord.
    He has torn us to shreds,
but he will bandage our wounds
    and make us well.
² In two or three days
    he will heal us
and restore our strength
    that we may live with him.
³ Let's do our best
    to know the Lord.
His coming is as certain
    as the morning sun;
he will refresh us like rain
renewing the earth
    in the springtime.
