1	Come# , and let us return# unto the LORD: for he hath torn# , and he will heal# us; he hath smitten# , and he will bind us up# .
			2	After two days will he revive# us: in the third day he will raise us up# , and we shall live# in his sight.
			3	Then shall we know# , if we follow# on to know# the LORD: his going forth is prepared# as the morning; and he shall come# unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain# unto the earth.
			4	O Ephraim, what shall I do# unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do# unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early# dew it goeth away# . [goodness: or, mercy, or, kindness]
			5	Therefore have I hewed# them by the prophets; I have slain# them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth# . [and...: or, that thy judgments might be, etc]
			6	For I desired# mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
			7	But they like men have transgressed# the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously# against me. [men: or, Adam]
			8	Gilead is a city of them that work# iniquity, and is polluted with blood. [polluted: or, cunning for]
			9	And as troops of robbers wait# for a man, so the company of priests murder# in the way by consent# # : for they commit# lewdness. [by...: Heb. with one shoulder, or, to Shechem] [lewdness: or, enormity]
			10	I have seen# an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled# .
			11	Also, O Judah, he hath set# an harvest for thee, when I returned# the captivity of my people.
