Hosea 6:5

A Call To Yahweh

⁴ O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? Your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes 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 desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
