Hosea 6:6-11
![Hosea 6:6-11 - For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
As at Adam, they have broken the covenant;
they were unfaithful to me there.
Gilead is a city of evildoers,
stained with footprints of blood.
As marauders lie in ambush for a victim,
so do bands of priests;
they murder on the road to Shechem,
carrying out their wicked schemes.
I have seen a horrible thing in Israel:
There Ephraim is given to prostitution,
Israel is defiled.
“Also for you, Judah,
a harvest is appointed.](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimageproxy.youversionapi.com%2F320x320%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Fstatic-youversionapi-com%2Fimages%2Fbase%2F37591%2F1280x1280.jpg&w=640&q=75)
