## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Superficial Repentance Breeds False Assurance of God’s Forgiveness
[[#Verse 01.]] Come on! Let’s return to the Lord.
He himself has torn us to pieces,
but he will heal us!
He has injured us,
but he will bandage our wounds!
[[#Verse 02.]] He will restore us in a very short time;
he will heal us in a little while,
so that we may live in his presence.
[[#Verse 03.]]Â So let us search for him!
Let us seek to know the Lord!
He will come to our rescue as certainly as the appearance of the dawn,
as certainly as the winter rain comes,
as certainly as the spring rain that waters the land.
### Transitory Faithfulness and Imminent Judgment
[[#Verse 04.]]Â What am I going to do with you, O Ephraim?
What am I going to do with you, O Judah?
For your faithfulness is as fleeting as the morning mist;
it disappears as quickly as dawn’s dew.
[[#Verse 05.]] Therefore, I will certainly cut you into pieces at the hands of the prophets;
I will certainly kill you in fulfillment of my oracles of judgment,
for my judgment will come forth like the light of the dawn.
[[#Verse 06.]]Â For I delight in faithfulness, not simply in sacrifice;
I delight in acknowledging God, not simply in whole burnt offerings.
### Indictments Against the Cities of Israel and Judah
[[#Verse 07.]] At Adam they broke the covenant;
Oh how they were unfaithful to me!
[[#Verse 08.]]Â Gilead is a city full of evildoers;
its streets are stained with bloody footprints!
[[#Verse 09.]]Â The company of priests is like a gang of robbers,
lying in ambush to pounce on a victim.
They commit murder on the road to Shechem;
they have done heinous crimes!
[[#Verse 10.]]Â I have seen a disgusting thing in the house of Israel:
there Ephraim commits prostitution with other gods,
and Israel defiles itself.
[[#Verse 11.]] I have appointed a time to reap judgment for you also, O Judah!
### If Israel Would Repent of Sin, God Would Relent of Judgment
Whenever I want to restore the fortunes of my people,
