Hosea 6:5 in Context — Hosea 6

3 Conheçamos, e prossigamos em conhecer ao SENHOR; sua vinda está preparada como o nascer do sol; ele virá a nós como a chuva, como a chuva da primavera, que rega a terra.

4 Que farei a ti, ó Efraim? Que farei a ti, ó Judá? Vossa bondade é como a neblina da manhã, como o orvalho da madrugada, que logo desaparece.

5 Por isso eu os cortei com os profetas; pelas palavras de minha boca os matei; e teus juízos sairão como a luz.

6 Pois eu quero misericórdia, e não sacrifício; e conhecimento de Deus mais do que holocaustos.

7 Porém eles, assim como Adão, transgrediram o pacto; ali agiram traiçoeiramente contra mim.
