The People Are Not Faithful

“Come, let’s go back to the Lord.
    He has hurt us, but he will heal us.
    He has wounded us, but he will bandage our wounds.
In two days he will put new life in us;
    on the third day he will raise us up
    so that we may live in his presence and know him.
Let’s try to learn about the Lord;
    he will come to us as surely as the dawn comes.
He will come to us like rain,
    like the spring rain that waters the ground.”

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)
