Hosea 6:5

A Call To Yahweh

⁴ What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away. ⁵ Therefore I have hewn them in pieces by the prophets;
I have slain them by the words of My mouth;
And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth.
⁶ For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
