Hosea 6:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets;
I have killed them by the words of my mouth,
and my[a] judgment goes forth as the light.(A)
6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.(B)
7 But at[b] Adam they transgressed the covenant;
there they dealt faithlessly with me.
Hosea 6:5-7
King James Version
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
