A Call To Yahweh

⁵ For this cause, have I hewn them in pieces by the prophets, I have slain them by the sayings of my mouth, - and, my justice, as a light goeth forth. ⁶ For, lovingkindness, I desired, and not sacrifice, - and the knowledge of God, more than ascending-offerings. ⁷ But, they, like Adam, have transgressed a covenant, - There, have they dealt treacherously with me.
