Hosea 6:5

A Call To Yahweh

⁴ What will I do with you, Ephraim? What will I do with you, Judah? Your love [is] like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early in the morning. ⁵ Therefore, I have hewn [them] by [the] prophets; I have killed them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth like the light. ⁶ Because I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
