Hosea 6:4
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
What shall I do with you, O Ephraim ? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.
In context
2 After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
3 So let us know— let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.
4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim ? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.
6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
