4 O Ephrayim, what shall I do unto thee?
O Yehudah, what shall I do with thee?
For your chesed (faithfulness, loyalty) is as an anan boker (morning cloud), and as the early dew that disappears.
6 For I desired chesed, and not zevach;
and the da’as Elohim more than olot (burnt offerings).6:6 Mt 9:13
