Hosea Chapter 6 (CHIUN)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 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。

2 過兩天 他必使我們甦醒,第三 天 他必使我們興起,我們就在他面前 得以存活。

3 我們務要認識 耶和華,竭力追求 認識他。他出現 確 如晨光;他必臨到 我們 像甘雨,像滋潤 田地 的春雨。

4 主說:以法蓮哪,我可向你 怎樣 行呢?猶大啊,我可向你 怎樣 做呢?因為你們的良善 如同早晨 的雲霧,又如速 散 的甘露。

5 因此,我藉先知 砍伐他們,以我口中 的話 殺戮他們;我施行的審判 如光 發出。

6 我喜愛良善(或譯:憐恤),不喜愛 祭祀;喜愛認識 神,勝於燔祭。

7 他們 卻如亞當 背 約,在境內 向我 行事詭詐。

8 基列 是作 孽 之人的城,被血 沾染。

9 強盜成群,怎樣埋伏 殺人,祭司 結黨,也照樣 在示劍 的路上 殺戮,行了 邪惡。

10 在以色列 家,我見了 可憎的事;在以法蓮 那裡 有淫行,以色列 被玷污。

11 猶大啊,我使被擄 之民 歸回的時候,必有為你 所命定 的收場。

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the call to action at the start of Hosea 6?
The chapter opens with an appeal, "Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up" (v.1), expressing hope that God will soon revive His people (v.2-3).
What does Hosea 6:6 mean by 'mercy, not sacrifice'?
God says, "I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings" - valuing genuine loyalty and relationship over ritual alone; Jesus later quotes this line directly in Matthew 9:13.
Why does God criticize Israel's 'goodness' in verse 4?
God says, "O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee?... for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away" - describing devotion that fades quickly rather than lasting.
