Hosea 6:4-6
New International Version - UK

4 ‘What can I do with you, Ephraim?
    What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
    like the early dew that disappears.
5 Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
    I killed you with the words of my mouth –
    then my judgments go forth like the sun.[a]
6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
    and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
