Hosea 6:5

Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets - I have sent my prophets to testify against their fickleness. They have smitten them with the most solemn and awful threatenings; they have, as it were, slain them by the words of my mouth. But to what purpose?

Thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth - Instead of יצא אור ומשפטיך umispateycha or yetse , "and thy judgments a light that goeth forth," the versions in general have read כאור ומשפטי umishpati keor , "and my judgment is as the light." The final כ caph in the common reading has by mistake been taken from אור aur , and joined to משפטי mishpati ; and thus turned it from the singular to the plural number, with the postfix כ cha . The proper reading is, most probably, "And my judgment is as the light going forth." It shall be both evident and swift; alluding both to the velocity and splendour of light.
