Lexham English Bible
Hosea 6:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 Gilead is a city of evil,
a cunning city because of blood.[a]
9 Like bandits lying in wait,
so is a band of priests;
they murder on the road to Shechem;
indeed, they commit a monstrous crime.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen something horrible;
Ephraim’s unfaithfulness is there.
Israel is defiled.
