Hosea 6:5

A Call To Yahweh

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; ⁶ Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
