Hosea 6:4-6

Brenton(i) 4 (6:5) What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away. 5 (6:6) Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light. 6 (6:7) For I will have mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings.
