Hosea 6:3

[Earlier, Hos. spoke of how the people perished for lack of knowledge, see Hos. 4:6.]
Let us know the Lord,
let us seek (actively seek) him [more and more, more deeply].
As surely as the sun rises [and becomes stronger and clearer, see Prov 4:18],
he will rise upon us.
He will come to us like showers,
like a late rain (spring rain) that waters the earth.
[The last rains before the harvest, which nourish the fruit.]
