Come, let us return to the LORD, for it is he who has rent, but he will heal us; he has struck us, but he will bind our wounds. He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, to live in his presence.
Hosea 6:1b-2 (Office of Lauds)
Incepit oratio Hieremiae Prophetae:
Thus begins the prayer of Jeremiah the Prophet:
Recordare, Domine, quid acciderit nobis; intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum.
Remember, O Lord, what hath come upon us; consider and behold our reproach.
Our inheritance is turned to aliens, our houses to strangers.
Pupilli facti sumus absque patre, matres nostrae quasi viduae.
Orphans we are made without father, our mothers are as widows.
Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus, ligna nostra pretio comparamus.
Our water at a price we have drunk, our wood at a price we have purchased.
Cervicibus minamur nostris; lassis non datur requies.
By our necks we are dragged, weary and not given rest.
Aegyptiis dedimus manum et Assyriis, ut saturaremur pane.
We have given our hand to the Egyptians and Assyrians, that we might be satisfied by bread.
Patres nostri peccaverunt et non sunt, et nos iniquitates eorum portamus.
Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
Servi dominantur nostri; non est qui redimat de manu eorum.
Servants have rules us; there is none who redeems us from their hand.
Vitae nostrae periculo afferimus panem nobis a facie gladii in deserto.
At peril of our life we brought bread, because of the sword in the desert.
Converte nos, Domine, ad te, et convertemur; innova dies nostros sicut a principio.
Convert us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be converted: renew our days, as from the beginning.
