Hosea 5:13-6:3
New King James Version
Hosea 5:13-6:3
New King James Version
13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah saw his (A)wound,
Then Ephraim went (B)to Assyria
And sent to King Jareb;
Yet he cannot cure you,
Nor heal you of your wound.
14 For (C)I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
(D)I, even I, will tear them and go away;
I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
15 I will return again to My place
Till they [a]acknowledge their offense.
Then they will seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
A Call to Repentance
6 Come,(E) and let us return to the Lord;
For (F)He has torn, but (G)He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will [b]bind us up.
2 (H)After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
3 (I)Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established (J)as the morning;
(K)He will come to us (L)like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

Hosea 5:13-6:3
New International Version
13 “When Ephraim(A) saw his sickness,
and Judah his sores,
then Ephraim turned to Assyria,(B)
and sent to the great king for help.(C)
But he is not able to cure(D) you,
not able to heal your sores.(E)
14 For I will be like a lion(F) to Ephraim,
like a great lion to Judah.
I will tear them to pieces(G) and go away;
I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.(H)
15 Then I will return to my lair(I)
until they have borne their guilt(J)
and seek my face(K)—
in their misery(L)
they will earnestly seek me.(M)”
Israel Unrepentant
6 “Come, let us return(N) to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces(O)
but he will heal us;(P)
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.(Q)
2 After two days he will revive us;(R)
on the third day(S) he will restore(T) us,
that we may live in his presence.
3 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,(U)
like the spring rains that water the earth.(V)”
