Insincere repentance

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Literal Version

6:1 Insincere repentance

6“Come on, let’s return to Yahweh.

He tore us apart, but he’ll heal us.

He struck us down, but he’ll bandage our wounds.

2After two days he’ll revive us.

He’ll raise us up on the third day,

so that we can live in his presence.

3Let us know—let’s press on to know Yahweh.

His arrival is certain as the dawn.

He will come to us like the showers

like the spring rains that water the earth.”

4What will I do with you, Efraim?

Yehudah, what will I do with you?

Your love is like a morning cloud that doesn’t last long

like the dew that quickly disappears.

5That’s why I’ve cut them to pieces by means of the prophets.

I’ve killed them with the messages that I’ve spoken.

My judgment is like the light that shines out.

6because I desire loyal commitment rather than sacrifices,

and knowledge about God rather than burnt offerings.[ref]

7Like Adam, they broke the agreement.

They were unfaithful to me.

8Gilead is a city full of evildoers

leaving behind bloody footprints.

9Just like a band of raiders lie in wait for a man,

so the priests band together to commit murder on the way to Shekem.

Surely they’ve committed shameful crimes.

10I’ve seen a horrible thing among the Israelis.

Efraim’s prostitution is thereIsrael is defiled.


11A harvest has been appointed for you also, Yehudah,

when I restore my people’s fortunes.

7Whenever I’d heal Yisrael, Efraim’s sin is exposed,

as well as the evil deeds of Shomron (Samaria).

Yes, they’re deceitful, plus thieves break in,

and a group of raiders robs people in the streets.

2But they don’t realise in their hearts that I remember all their evil.

Now their deeds surround them—they’re staring at me in the face.
