Hosea 6:4-11

O Ephraim
<0669>_,
what shall I do
<06213> (8799)
unto thee? O Judah
<03063>_,
what shall I do
<06213> (8799)
unto thee? for your goodness
<02617>
[is] as a morning
<01242>
cloud
<06051>_,
and as the early
<07925> (8688)
dew
<02919>
it goeth away
<01980> (8802)_.
{goodness: or, mercy, or, kindness}
Therefore have I hewed
<02672> (8804)
[them] by the prophets
<05030>_;
I have slain
<02026> (8804)
them by the words
<0561>
of my mouth
<06310>_:
and thy judgments
<04941>
[are as] the light
<0216>
[that] goeth forth
<03318> (8799)_.
{and...: or, that thy judgments might be, etc}
For I desired
<02654> (8804)
mercy
<02617>_,
and not sacrifice
<02077>_;
and the knowledge
<01847>
of God
<0430>
more than burnt offerings
<05930>_.
But they like men
<0120>
have transgressed
<05674> (8804)
the covenant
<01285>_:
there have they dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)
against me. {men: or, Adam}
Gilead
<01568>
[is] a city
<07151>
of them that work
<06466> (8802)
iniquity
<0205>_,
[and is] polluted
<06121>
with blood
<01818>_.
{polluted: or, cunning for}
And as troops
<01416>
of robbers wait
<02442> (8763)
for a man
<0376>_,
[so] the company
<02267>
of priests
<03548>
murder
<07523> (8762)
in the way
<01870>
by consent
<07926> (8677) <07927>_:
for they commit
<06213> (8804)
lewdness
<02154>_.
{by...: Heb. with one shoulder, or, to Shechem} {lewdness: or, enormity}
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
an horrible thing
<08186>
in the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_:
there [is] the whoredom
<02184>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
Israel
<03478>
is defiled
<02930> (8738)_.
Also, O Judah
<03063>_,
he hath set
<07896> (8804)
an harvest
<07105>
for thee, when I returned
<07725> (8800)
the captivity
<07622>
of my people
<05971>_.
