1Venid y volvamos a Jehová; porque él arrebató, y nos curará; hirió, y nos vendará.
2Nos dará vida después de dos días; en el tercer día nos resucitará, y viviremos delante de él.
3Y conoceremos, y proseguiremos en conocer a Jehová; como el alba está dispuesta su salida, y vendrá a nosotros como la lluvia, como la lluvia tardía y temprana a la tierra.
4¿Qué haré a ti, Efraín? ¿Qué haré a ti, oh Judá? La piedad vuestra es como nube de la mañana, y como el rocío de la madrugada, que se desvanece.
5Por esta causa los corté por medio de los profetas, con las palabras de mi boca los maté; y tus juicios serán como luz que sale.
6Porque misericordia quiero, y no sacrificio, y conocimiento de Dios más que holocaustos.
7Mas ellos, cual Adán, traspasaron el pacto; allí prevaricaron contra mí.
8Galaad, ciudad de hacedores de iniquidad, manchada de sangre.
9Y como ladrones que esperan a algún hombre, así una compañía de sacerdotes mata en el camino hacia Siquem; así cometieron abominación.
10En la casa de Israel he visto inmundicia; allí fornicó Efraín, y se contaminó Israel.
11Para ti también, oh Judá, está preparada una siega, cuando yo haga volver el cautiverio de mi pueblo.

6:6 In one of Hosea’s key verses, God names the most important qualities that should characterize the Israelites’ covenant lives with him. First, the Lord wants his people to show love more than he wants sacrifices. Love (Hebrew khesed) includes faithfulness (see 4:1; 6:4). God is always faithful (Ps 136), and he requires the same of his people. Second, the Lord wants Israel to know him more than he wants burnt offerings. Knowing God is much more than simply knowing facts about God (see “Knowing God” Theme Note). An intimate personal relationship with God is characterized by complete trust and integrity. Sacrifice still had a proper place in Israelite religion, but only when it was offered by a people who truly knew and loved God (see Isa 1:10-17; Amos 5:21-24; Mic 6:6-8).

6:10 something horrible: The prophet uses this rare word (also in Jer 18:13) to describe the depth of Israel’s sin in breaking God’s covenant and betraying his trust.
