- 1Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.לְכוּ֙ וְנָשׁ֣וּבָה אֶל יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֛י ה֥וּא טָרָ֖ף וְיִרְפָּאֵ֑נוּ יַ֖ךְ וְיַחְבְּשֵֽׁנוּ
- 2After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.יְחַיֵּ֖נוּ מִיֹּמָ֑יִם בַּיּוֹם֙ הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֔י יְקִמֵ֖נוּ וְנִחְיֶ֥ה לְפָנָֽיו
- 3Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.וְנֵדְעָ֣ה נִרְדְּפָ֗ה לָדַ֨עַת֙ אֶת יְהוָ֔ה כְּשַׁ֖חַר נָכ֣וֹן מֽוֹצָא֑וֹ וְיָב֤וֹא כַגֶּ֨שֶׁם֙ כְּמַלְק֖וֹשׁ י֥וֹרֶה אָֽרֶץ
- 4O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.מָ֤ה אֶֽעֱשֶׂה אֶפְרַ֔יִם מָ֥ה אֶעֱשֶׂה יְהוּדָ֑ה וְחַסְדְּכֶם֙ כַּֽעֲנַן בֹּ֔קֶר וְכַטַּ֖ל מַשְׁכִּ֥ים הֹלֵֽךְ
- 5Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.עַל כֵּ֗ן חָצַ֨בְתִּי֙ בַּנְּבִיאִ֔ים הֲרַגְתִּ֖ים בְּאִמְרֵי פִ֑י וּמִשְׁפָּטֶ֖יךָ א֥וֹר יֵצֵֽא
- 6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.כִּ֛י חֶ֥סֶד חָפַ֖צְתִּי וְלֹא זָ֑בַח וְדַ֥עַת אֱלֹהִ֖ים מֵעֹלֽוֹת
- 7But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.וְהֵ֕מָּה כְּאָדָ֖ם עָבְר֣וּ בְרִ֑ית שָׁ֖ם בָּ֥גְדוּ
- 8Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.גִּלְעָ֕ד קִרְיַ֖ת פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן עֲקֻבָּ֖ה מִדָּֽם
- 9And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.וּכְחַכֵּ֨י אִ֜ישׁ גְּדוּדִ֗ים חֶ֚בֶר כֹּֽהֲנִ֔ים דֶּ֖רֶךְ יְרַצְּחוּ שֶׁ֑כְמָה כִּ֥י זִמָּ֖ה עָשֽׂוּ
- 10I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.בְּבֵית֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל רָאִ֖יתִי שעריריה שַׁעֲרֽוּרִיָּ֑ה שָׁ֚ם זְנ֣וּת לְאֶפְרַ֔יִם נִטְמָ֖א יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
- 11Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.גַּם יְהוּדָ֕ה שָׁ֥ת קָצִ֖יר בְּשׁוּבִ֖י שְׁב֥וּת עַמִּֽי

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
