Hosea 6:5

Hosea 6:5

3 ^aLet us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established ^bas the morning;
^cHe will come to us ^dlike the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

Impenitence of Israel and Judah

4 “O Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
O Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
And like the early dew it goes away.

5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets,
I have slain them by ^athe words of My mouth;
And¹ your judgments are like light that goes forth.

6 For I desire ^amercy and ^bnot sacrifice,
And the ^cknowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

7 “But like¹ men they transgressed the covenant;
There they dealt treacherously with Me.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hosea 6:4

Hosea 6:6 >>

Therefore - Because I would do for you whatever might be done. Hewed them - I have severely, and unweariedly reproved, and threatened them. By thy words - As I did by word foretel, so I did effect in due time. Thy judgments - The punishments threatened, which fell upon this people, did so fully answer the prediction that every one might see them clear as the light, and as constantly executed as the morning.
