Hosea 6:4-11

4O EphraimH669, what shall I do unto thee? O JudahH3063, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morningH1242 cloudH6051, and as the dewH2919 that goeth earlyH7925 away. 5ThereforeH3651 have I hewed them by the prophetsH5030; I have slainH2026 them by the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310: and thy judgmentsH4941 are as the lightH216 that goeth forthH3318. 6For I desireH2654 goodness, and not sacrificeH2077; and the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 more than burnt-offerings. 7But they like AdamH121 have transgressed the covenantH1285: there have they dealtH898 treacherouslyH898 against me. 8GileadH1568 is a city of them that work iniquity; it is stained with bloodH1818. 9And as troopsH1416 of robbers waitH2442 for a manH376, so the company of priestsH3548 murderH7523 in the wayH1870 toward ShechemH7927; yea, they have committed lewdness. 10In the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 I have seenH7200 a horrible thing: there whoredom is found in EphraimH669, IsraelH3478 is defiledH2930. 11AlsoH1571, O JudahH3063, there is a harvestH7105 appointedH7896 for thee, when I bringH7725 backH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971.
