Hosea 6:9-11

The Message

^8-9 “Gilead has become Crime City—
    blood on the sidewalks, blood on the streets.
It used to be robbers who mugged pedestrians.
    Now it’s gangs of priests
Assaulting worshipers on their way to Shechem.
    Nothing is sacred to them.

¹⁰ “I saw a shocking thing in the country of Israel:
    Ephraim worshiping in a religious whorehouse,
    and Israel in the mud right there with him.

¹¹ “You’re as bad as the worst of them, Judah.
    You’ve been sowing wild oats. Now it’s harvest time.”
