Hosea 6:3-7

“So let’s learn, let’s press on to know the Lord. His appearance is as sure as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, As the spring rain waters the earth.”

What shall I do with you, Ephraim? What shall I do with you, Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning cloud, And like the dew which goes away early.

Therefore I have cut them in pieces by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And the judgments on you are like the light that shines.

For I desire loyalty rather than sacrifice, And the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

But like Adam they have violated the covenant; There they have dealt treacherously with Me.
