Hosea 6:8 CPDV

⁶  For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts.

⁷  But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; in this, they have been dishonest with me.

⁸  Gilead is a city that manufactures idols; it has been tripped up by family relations.

⁹  And, like those who rob with skillful words, they, by conspiring with the priests, bring a death sentence to travelers on a pilgrimage from Shechem; for they have been performing evil deeds.

¹⁰  I have seen horrible things in the house of Israel; the fornications of Ephraim are there. Israel has been contaminated.
