Hosea 6:5-7
English Standard Version Anglicised
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets;
I have slain them (A)by the words of my mouth,
and my judgement goes forth as the light.
6 For (B)I desire steadfast love[a] and not sacrifice,
(C)the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
7 But (D)like Adam they (E)transgressed the covenant;
(F)there they dealt faithlessly with me.
