Hosea 6:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible
5 I sent my prophets to warn you.
They gave you my messages that I would punish you.
Now that punishment will certainly happen to you!
I will suddenly come to judge you,
like the sun that rises at dawn.
6 It is faithful love that makes me happy.
That would be better than your sacrifices to me.
You should know me as your God.
That would be better than your burnt offerings.
7 Like Adam, my people did not obey the covenant that I had made with them.[a]
They did not serve me faithfully.
Footnotes
- 6:7 ‘Like Adam’ may mean the man that God created in the beginning. Or it may mean ‘at Adam’, the place where the Israelites went into Canaan.
