MSG ^(4-7)“What am I to do with you, Ephraim?
  What do I make of you, Judah?
Your declarations of love last no longer
  than morning mist and predawn dew.
That’s why I use prophets to shake you to attention,
  why my words cut you to the quick:
To wake you up to my judgment
  blazing like light.
I’m after love that lasts, not more religion.
  I want you to know God, not go to more prayer meetings.
You broke the covenant—just like Adam!
  You broke faith with me—ungrateful wretches!
