Impenitence of Israel and Judah
4 "O Ephraim, what shall I do to you?
O Judah, what shall I do to you?
For your faithfulness is like a morning cloud,
And like the early dew it goes away.
6 For I desire Matt. 9:13; 12:7mercy and Is. 1:12, 13; (Mic. 6:6–8)not sacrifice,
And the (John 17:3)knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
