Hosea 6:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ This is because I want faithful love,
    not sacrifice.
I want people to know God,
    not to bring burnt offerings.
⁷ But the people broke the agreement as Adam did.^[a]
    They were unfaithful to me in their country.
⁸ Gilead is a city of people who do evil—
    people who have tricked and killed others.
