Hosea 6:4

A Call To Yahweh

³ And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth. ⁴ O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away. ⁵ So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;

Early Dew

Early in the Morning

Says the Lord

Your Lovingkindness

Morning Mist

Ephraim

Judah
