⁴ What shall I do with you, O ^(A)Ephraim?
What shall I do with you, O Judah?
For your lovingkindness is like a ^(B)morning cloud
And like the dew which goes away early.
⁵ Therefore I have ^(C)hewn them in pieces by the prophets;
I have killed them by the ^(D)words of My mouth;
And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth.
⁶ For ^(E)I delight in lovingkindness ^(F)rather than sacrifice,
And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
