Hosea 6:3-6

LEB(i) 3 Let us know, let us press on to know Yahweh; his rising is sure like the dawn. He will come like the showers to us, like the spring rain that waters the earth. 4 What will I do with you, O Ephraim? What will I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early in the morning. 5 Therefore, I have hewn them by the prophets; I have killed them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment* goes forth like the light. 6 Because I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
