Hosea 6:4-6
Easy-to-Read Version
The People Are Not Faithful
4 “Ephraim, what should I do with you?
Judah, what should I do with you?
Your faithfulness is like a morning mist.
Your faithfulness is like the dew that goes away early in the morning.
5 I used the prophets
and made laws for the people.
The people were killed at my command,
but good things will come from those decisions.[a]
6 This is because I want faithful love,
not sacrifice.
I want people to know God,
not to bring burnt offerings.
