來吧，我們歸向耶和華！他撕裂我們，也必醫治；他打傷我們，也必纏裹。

For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

強盜成群，怎樣埋伏殺人，祭司結黨，也照樣在
As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests band together; they murder on the way to Shechem; they commit villainy.

For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed. When I restore the fortunes of my people,
