Hosea 6:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵     Therefore, I have attacked them by the prophets,
            I have killed them by the words of my mouth,
                and my judgment goes forth like a light.
⁶     I desire faithful love and not sacrifice,
            the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.
⁷     But like Adam^[a] they broke the covenant;
            then they acted in bad faith against me.
