BibleOld TestamentHosea
KJV

1 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.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
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.


See Non-literal days in the Bible — it is sometimes claimed that Biblical days cannot be metaphorical if they are explicitly enumerated. These days in Hosea 6:2 are explicitly enumerated.
