Hosea 6:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵Therefore I cut them^[a] to pieces by the prophets,
    killing them by the words from my mouth.
        The verdict against you shines like a beacon.
⁶For it is love that I seek,
    and not sacrifice;
        knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

⁷“But like Adam,^[b] they broke the covenant;
in this they have acted deceitfully against me.
