Hosea 12:6

⁸He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

²⁵The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. ²⁶It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

¹Israel, return to the LORD your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.

⁷But as for me, I will look to the LORD. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

³⁸Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁹“Thus has the LORD of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.

¹“Come! Let’s return to the LORD; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds. ²After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we will live before him. ³Let’s acknowledge the LORD. Let’s press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, the LORD will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth.”

¹⁴Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.

¹³For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

³To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
