Hosea 6:5-7
Common English Bible
5 Therefore, I have attacked them by the prophets,
I have killed them by the words of my mouth,
and my judgment goes forth like a light.
6 I desire faithful love and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.
7 But like Adam[a] they broke the covenant;
then they acted in bad faith against me.
