Hosea 6:5

5 So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;

Hosea 6:5 In-Context

3 And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
4 O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
5 So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;
6 Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
7 But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.
