COME, and let us return unto El-Yahuah: for he has torn, and he will heal us; he has smitten, and he will bind us up.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know Yahuah: 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.
O Ephrayim, what shall I do unto you? O Yahudah, what shall I do unto you? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.

Also, O Yahudah, he has set a harvest for you, when I returned the captivity of my people.
