Hosea 6:7 BBE

⁵  So I have had it cut in stones; I gave them teaching by the words of my mouth;

⁶  Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.

⁷  But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.

⁸  Gilead is a town of evil-doers, marked with blood.

⁹  And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.
