Hosea 6:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Lord’s First Lament
4 What am I going to do with you, Ephraim?(A)
What am I going to do with you, Judah?
Your loyalty is like the morning mist(B)
and like the early dew that vanishes.
5 This is why I have used the prophets
to cut them down;[a](C)
I have killed them with the words of My mouth.
My judgment strikes like lightning.[b]
6 For I desire loyalty and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God(D) rather than burnt offerings.(E)
