Hosea 6:4-6

Darby Translation

⁴ What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.

⁵ Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth forth as the light.

⁶ For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
