6:1 [hgb]  来 吧 ， 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 。 
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
6:2 [hgb]  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 。 
    [kjv]  After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
    [bbe]  After two days he will give us life, and on the third day he will make us get up, and we will be living before him.
6:3 [hgb]  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 。 
    [kjv]  Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
    [bbe]  And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
6:4 [hgb]  主 说 ， 以 法 莲 哪 ， 我 可 向 你 怎 样 行 呢 ？ 犹 大 阿 ， 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 。 
    [kjv]  O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
    [bbe]  O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
6:5 [hgb]  因 此 ， 我 借 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 。 
    [kjv]  Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
    [bbe]  So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
6:6 [hgb]  我 喜 爱 良 善 （ 或 作 怜 恤 ） ， 不 喜 爱 祭 祀 ， 喜 爱 认 识 神 ， 胜 于 燔 祭 。 
    [kjv]  For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
    [bbe]  Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
6:7 [hgb]  他 们 却 如 亚 当 背 约 ， 在 境 内 向 我 行 事 诡 诈 。 
    [kjv]  But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
    [bbe]  But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
6:8 [hgb]  基 列 是 作 孽 之 人 的 城 。 被 血 沾 染 。 
    [kjv]  Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
    [bbe]  Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.
6:9 [hgb]  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 。 
    [kjv]  And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
    [bbe]  And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
6:10 [hgb]  在 以 色 列 家 ， 我 见 了 可 憎 的 事 。 在 以 法 莲 那 里 有 淫 行 ， 以 色 列 被 玷 污 。 
    [kjv]  I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
    [bbe]  In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;
6:11 [hgb]  犹 大 阿 ， 我 使 被 掳 之 民 归 回 的 时 候 ， 必 有 为 你 所 命 定 的 收 场 。 
    [kjv]  Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
    [bbe]  And Judah has put up disgusting images for himself.
