Hosea 6:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ “What should I do with you, Ephraim?
What should I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like fog in the morning.
It disappears as quickly as the morning dew.
⁵ That is why I cut ⌞you⌟ down by sending the prophets.
I killed you with the words from my mouth.
My judgments shined on you like light.
⁶ I want your loyalty, not your sacrifices.
I want you to know me, not to give me burnt offerings.
