The .vi. Chapter.
1 Affliction causeth a man to turne to God. 9 The wickednesse of the priestes.
A
1 Come, let vs turne agayne
to the Lorde: note
for he hath smitten vs,
and he shall heale vs,
he hath wounded vs,
and he shall binde vs
vp agayne.
2 After two dayes shall he quicken vs,
in the thirde day he shall rayse vs vp, so
that we shall liue in his sight.
3 Then shall we haue vnderstanding,
and endeuour our selues to knowe the
Lord: he shal go foorth as the spring of
the day, ∧ come vnto vs note as the rayne,
and as the latter rayne vnto the earth.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do vnto
thee? O Iuda, howe shall I intreate
thee? for your goodnesse is lyke a morning
cloude, ∧ like a deawe that goeth
early away.
5 Therfore haue I cut downe the prophetes,
and let them be slayne for my
wordes sake, so that thy punishment
shall come to light.
6 noteFor I desired mercy, and not sacrifice:
and the knowledge of God more
then burnt offeringes.
B
7 But euen like as note Adam did, so haue
they broken my couenaunt, and set me
at naught.
8 Gilead is a citie of wicked doers, and
[is] polluted with blood.
9 And as theeues [armed] wayte for him
that passeth by the way: suche is the
counsell of the priestes, which with one
agreed counsell murther cruelly suche
as kepe the way, yea they dare do all
vnspeakable mischiefe.
10 noteHorrible thinges haue I seene in the
house of Israel: there is the fornication
of Ephraim, and Israel is defiled.
11 Yea, and thou Iuda kepest an haruest
for thy selfe, when I returne the
captiuitie of my people.
