Hosea 6:5-7

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ Therefore I have hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: that thy righteousness be as the light that goes forth.

⁶ For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

⁷ But they have transposed the covenant as of men: there they have rebelled against me.
