Hosea 6:4-6
Israel and Judah Are Unrepentant
4
"O Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
O Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
And like the early dew it goes away.
5
Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets,
I have slain them by i the words of My mouth;
And 1 your judgments are like light that goes forth.
6
For I desire j mercy 2 and k not sacrifice,
And the l knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
