Respuesta del pueblo
Venid, volvamos al SEÑORa.Pues Él nos ha desgarradob, y nos sanarác;nos ha herido1, y nos vendarád.2 Nos dará vidaa después de dos días,al tercer díab nos levantaráy viviremos delante de Él.3 Conozcamos, pues, esforcémonos por conocer al SEÑORa.Su salida es tan cierta como la aurorab,y Él vendrá a nosotros como la lluvia,como la lluvia de primavera que riega la tierrac.
4 ¿Qué haré contigo, Efraína?¿Qué haré contigo, Judá?Porque vuestra lealtad1 es como nube matinal,y como el rocío, que temprano desapareceb.5 Por tanto los he despedazado por medio de los profetasa,los he matado con las palabras de mi bocab;los juicios sobre ti son como la luz que sale.6 Porque más me deleito en la lealtad1 que en el sacrificioa,y más en el conocimiento de Dios que en los holocaustosb.7 Pero ellos, como Adán1, han transgredido el pactoa;allí me han traicionadob.8 Galaada es ciudad de malhechores,con huellas de sangreb.9 Como bandidos al acecho de un hombrea,es la banda de sacerdotes que asesina en el camino a Siquemb;ciertamente han cometido iniquidad1c.10 En la casa de Israel he visto una cosa horriblea:allí está la prostitución de Efraín, se ha contaminado Israelb.11 Para ti también, oh Judá, hay preparada una cosechaa,cuando yo restaure el bienestar1 de mi pueblob.
The Response to God’s Rebuke
aCome and let us return in repentance to the LORD,For bHe has torn us, but cHe will heal us;He has wounded us, but He will dbandage us.2 “After two days He will arevive us;On the third day He will braise us upThat we may live before Him. Is 26:19; Ezek 37:1-103 “So let us aknow and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the greatness of the LORD to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him.His bappearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn,And He will come to us in salvation like the heavy crain,Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
The Reply of the LORD
4 O aEphraim, what shall I do with you?O Judah, what shall I do with you?For your wavering loyalty and kindness are transient like the bmorning cloudAnd like the dew that goes away early.5 Therefore, I have ahewn them in pieces by the words of the prophets;I have slain them by the bwords of My mouth;My judgments pronounced upon them by the prophets are like the light that shines forth obvious to all.6 For aI desire and delight in steadfast loyalty faithfulness in the covenant relationship, brather than sacrifice,And in the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Matt 9:13; 12:77 But they, alike Adam, have btransgressed the covenant;There they have cdealt treacherously against Me.8 aGilead is a city of wrongdoers;It is tracked with bbloody footprints.9 And as bands of arobbers lie in wait for a man,So a band of priests bmurder on the road toward 1Shechem covering their crimes in that city of refuge;Certainly they have committed ccrimes and outrages.10 I have seen a ahorrible thing sins of every kind in the house of Israel!Ephraim’s bprostitution (idolatry) is there; Israel has defiled itself.11 Also, O Judah, there is a aharvest of divine judgment appointed for you,When I brestore the fortunes of My people who have been slaves to the misery of sin.
