Hosea 6:5 Context
3Then shal we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared, as the morning; & he shall come vnto vs, as the raine; as the latter and former raine vnto the earth. 4¶ O Ephraim, what shall I doe vnto thee? O Iudah, what shall I do vnto thee? for your goodnesse is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 5Therefore haue I shewed them by the Prophets: I haue slaine them by the wordes of my mouth, and thy iudgements are as the light that goeth foorth. 6For I desired mercie, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more then burnt offerings. 7But they like men haue transgressed the Couenant: there haue they dealt treacherously against me.
