Hosea 6:3-7

3Then shall we knowH3045, if we followH7291 on to knowH3045 YhwhH3068: his going forthH4161 is preparedH3559 as the morningH7837; and he shall comeH935 unto us as the rainH1653, as the latterH4456 and former rainH3384 unto the earthH776.

4O EphraimH669, what shall I doH6213 unto thee? O JudahH3063, what shall I doH6213 unto thee? for your goodnessH2617 is as a morningH1242 cloudH6051, and as the earlyH7925 dewH2919 it goeth awayH1980.1 5Therefore have I hewedH2672 them by the prophetsH5030; I have slainH2026 them by the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310: and thy judgmentsH4941 are as the lightH216 that goeth forthH3318.2 6For I desiredH2654 mercyH2617, and not sacrificeH2077; and the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 more than burnt offeringsH5930. 7But they like menH120 have transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285: there have they dealt treacherouslyH898 against me.3
