Hosea 6:4-6

Young's Literal Translation

⁴ What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early -- going.

⁵ Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.

⁶ For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
