Hosea 6:4 - 6:6

What shall I do with you, O Ephraim?

What shall I do with you, O Judah?

For your lovingkindness is like a morning cloud

And like the dew which goes away early.

Therefore I have hewn them in pieces by the prophets;

I have killed them by the words of My mouth;

And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth.

For I delight in lovingkindness rather than sacrifice,

And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
