v1-3
the people are saying that they want to go back to God, and they acknowledge he's hurt them but he will heal them. he has wounded them, but he would heal them. in two days he'll put life in them, and raise them up on the 3rd day, (JC reference???) to live in his presence and know him. They say to learn about God as he will go to them like the rain.
v4-6
God asks what should he do with Israel and Judah, their faithfulness is really short lived, it's only superficial. He's warned prophets that God will kill them, and justice brought to them.
"I want faithful love more than I want animal sacrifices. I want people to know me more than I want burnt offerings."
I love this verse. It just proves the importance of a real loving faithful relationship with God.
v7-11
But the Isrealites have broken the convenent like Adam, and have been unfaithful. Gilead is a place of evil, priests like robbers, murder. God has seen bad things in Israel, God has seen the prostitution and the uncleanliness.
God has set Judah a time when they will be clean again.

read verse 6 above. all i can really say, is just think about it. How is your relationship with God. are you faithful and loving?
