MKJV(i)
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? For your goodness is like a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.
5 So I have cut them down by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth. And your judgments were as the light that goes forth.
6 For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
