Hosea 6:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Further Crimes of Israel
7 But they, at Adam,[a] violated the covenant;
there they betrayed me.
8 Gilead[b] is a city of evildoers,
tracked with blood.
9 Like brigands lying in wait
is the band of priests.
They murder on the road to Shechem,[c]
indeed they commit a monstrous crime.
