In context

3So let us know— let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.

4What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.

5Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.

6For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

7But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me.
