Hosea 6:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² He will soon make us strong again.
After three days, we will have new lives.
Then we can live together with him.
³ We should respect the Lord's authority.
We must try to know him better.
Then he will certainly come to rescue us.
He will come to us as surely as the sun appears each morning.
He will help us as surely as the rain comes in spring
and it makes the ground wet for plants to grow.’

⁴ ‘People of Ephraim and Judah, can I forgive you so easily?
Your love for me soon disappears.
It goes away as quickly as mist or dew in the morning.^[a]
