1
来罢，我们归向耶和华！他撕裂我们，也必医治；他打伤我们，也必缠裹。
2
过两天他必使我们苏醒，第三天他必使我们兴起，我们就在他面前得以存活。
3
我们务要认识耶和华，竭力追求认识他。他出现确如晨光，他必临到我们像甘雨，像滋润田地的春雨。
4
主说：以法莲哪，我可向你怎样行呢？犹大啊，我可向你怎样做呢？因为你们的良善如同早晨的云雾，又如速散的甘露。
5
因此，我藉先知砍伐他们，以我口中的话杀戮他们；我施行的审判如光发出。
6
我喜爱良善（或译：怜恤），不喜爱祭祀；喜爱认识神，胜於燔祭。
8
基列是作孽之人的城，被血沾染。
9
强盗成群，怎样埋伏杀人，祭司结党，也照样在示剑的路上杀戮，行了邪恶。
53. The following passages in the Word may be applied to these two states of this Church: Jehovah, after two days, will quicken us: on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before him.... Jehovah, His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain He shall water the earth (Hosea 6:2-3).
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me.... He is as the light of the morning,... a morning without clouds (2 Sam. 23:3-4).
And in Moses:
My doctrine shall drop as the rain; My word shall distil as the dew, as the drops upon the grass, and as the small drops upon the herb: I will proclaim the name of Jehovah; ascribe ye greatness to our God. The Rock, whose work is perfect, all His ways are judgment, a God of faithfulness without perversity, just and right is He (Deut. 32:2, 3, 4).
From these passages, also, it may be confirmed that these two states of this Church were from our Lord, who is the "God of Israel" and the "Rock." That He is the "Rock," is clear from these words in Paul: The Rock was Christ (1 Cor. 10:4).
