Hosea 6:4 O Ephraim,669 what shall I do6213 unto thee? O Judah,3063 what shall I do6213 unto thee? for your goodness2617{Or, mercy, or, kindness}is as a morning1242 cloud,6051 and as the early7925 dew2919 it goeth away.19805 Therefore have I hewed2672them by the prophets;5030 I have slain2026 them by the words561 of my mouth:6310 and thy judgments4941areas{Or, that thy judgments might be, etc.} the light216that goeth forth.33186 For I desired2654 mercy,2617 and not sacrifice;2077 and the knowledge1847 of God430 more than burnt offerings.59307 But they like men120{Or, like Adam} have transgressed5674 the covenant:1285 there have they dealt treacherously898 against me.
