Hosea 6:7

⁵  Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.

⁶  For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

⁷  But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

⁸  Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.

⁹  And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
