Hosea 6 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Hosea 6
1In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Come, let us return to the Lord.
2For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us.
3He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his sight. We will understand, and we will continue on, so that we may know the Lord. His landing place has been prepared like the first light of morning, and he will come to us like the early and the late rains of the land.
4What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your mercy is like the morning mist, and like the dew passing away in the morning.
5Because of this, I have cut them with the prophets, I have slain them with the words of my mouth; and your opinions will depart like the light.
6For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts.
7But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; in this, they have been dishonest with me.
8Gilead is a city that manufactures idols; it has been tripped up by family relations.
9And, like those who rob with skillful words, they, by conspiring with the priests, bring a death sentence to travelers on a pilgrimage from Shechem; for they have been performing evil deeds.
10I have seen horrible things in the house of Israel; the fornications of Ephraim are there. Israel has been contaminated.
11But you, Judah, set a harvest for yourself, while I reverse the captivity of my people.
Hosea 6
1In their affliction they will rise early to me: Come, and let us return to the Lord.
2For he hath taken us, and he will heal us: he will strike, and he will cure us.
3He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. We shall know, and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light, and he will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth.
4What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth away in the morning.
5For this reason have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments shall go forth as the light.
6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts.
7But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant, there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8Galaad is a city of workers of idols, supplanted with blood.
9And like the jaws of highway robbers, they conspire with the priests who murder in the way those that pass out of Sichem: for they have wrought wickedness.
10I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: the fornications of Ephraim there: Israel is defiled.
11And thou also, O Juda, set thee a harvest, when I shall bring back the captivity of my people.
