Hosea
Hosea 6:2–3
2After two days He will revive us;
on the third day He will raise us up,
that we may live in His presence.
3So let us know —
let us press on to know the LORD.
As surely as the sun rises,
He will appear;
He will come to us like the rain,
like the spring showers that water the earth.
