Hosea 6:5

A Call To Yahweh

⁴ "What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your love is like a morning rain cloud it passes away like the morning dew. ⁵ Therefore I cut them to pieces by the prophets, killing them by the words from my mouth. The verdict against you shines like a beacon. ⁶ For it is love that I seek, and not sacrifice; knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
