Hosea 6:4-6
New American Standard Bible

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

4 What shall I do with you, O (A)Ephraim?
What shall I do with you, O Judah?
For your [a]loyalty 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 slain 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 loyalty (F)rather than sacrifice,
And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
