Impenitence of Israel and Judah
O Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
And like the early dew it goes away.
I have slain them by athe words of My mouth;
And1 your judgments are like light that goes forth.
So the company of apriests bmurder on the way to Shechem;
Surely they commit clewdness.
There is the1 harlotry of Ephraim;
Israel is defiled.

Hosea 6:6
For - I so hewed and slew them, because they did not what I most of all required; they were full of sacrifices, but either to idols, or else in formality and pride. Mercy - Compassion and charity towards men, this one principal duty of the second table put for all. In this I delight, I have found little of this among you. Not sacrifice - Rather than sacrifice. The knowledge of God - The affectionate knowledge of God, which fills the mind with reverence of his majesty, fear of his goodness, love of his holiness, trust in his promise, and submission to his will.
