Hosea 6:4

A Call To Yahweh

³ Then shall we have understanding, and endeavor ourselves to know the LORD. He shall go forth as the spring of the day, and come unto us as the evening and morning rain upon the earth." ⁴ O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, how shall I entreat thee? Seeing your love is like a morning cloud, and like a dew that goeth early away. ⁵ Therefore have I cut down the prophets, and let them be slain for my words' sake: so that thy punishment shall come to light.
