Hosea 6:5

A Call To Yahweh

⁴ O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, how shall I entreat thee? Seeing your love is like a morning cloud, and like a dew that goeth early away. ⁵ Therefore have I cut down the prophets, and let them be slain for my words' sake: so that thy punishment shall come to light. ⁶ For I have pleasure in loving-kindness, and not in offering: Yea in the knowledge of God, more than in burnt sacrifice.
