The Message
Hosea 6:8-10
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.
Hosea 6:8-10
New International Version
Hosea 6:8-10
New International Version
8 Gilead is a city of evildoers,(A)
stained with footprints of blood.
9 As marauders lie in ambush for a victim,(B)
so do bands of priests;
they murder(C) on the road to Shechem,
carrying out their wicked schemes.(D)
10 I have seen a horrible(E) thing in Israel:
There Ephraim is given to prostitution,
Israel is defiled.(F)
