Hosea 6:4-7

4What am I going to do with you, Ephraim? What am I going to do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist and like the early dew that vanishes.

5This is why I have used the prophets to cut them down; I have killed them with the words from my mouth. My judgment strikes like lightning.

6For I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

7But they, like Adam, have violated the covenant; there they have betrayed me.
