LXX(EN)
Hegesippus
Hegesippus
[1]In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; [No book]
[2]he will smite, and bind us up. [No book]
[3]After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know him: [No book]
[4]let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth. [No book]
[5]What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away. [No book]
[6]Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light. [No book]
[7]For I will have mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings. [No book]
[8]But they are as a man transgressing a covenant: [No book]
[9]there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water. [No book]
[10]And thy strength is that of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered the people of Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel. [No book]
[11]I have seen horrible things there, even the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled; [No book]
[12]begin together grapes for thyself, when I turn the captivity of my people. [No book]
