Hosea 6:6

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.

8 ^aGilead is a city of evildoers
And¹ defiled with blood.
