Hosea 6:4-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ ¶ O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? Your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.

⁵ Therefore I have hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: that thy righteousness be as the light that goes forth.

⁶ For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
