Hosea 6:4-6

JuliaSmith(i) 4 What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, O Judah? and your kindness as the cloud of the morning, and as the dew being early went away. 5 For this I cut off by the prophets; I slew them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments the light going forth. 6 For I delighted in mercy and not sacrifice; the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
