Hosea 6:4-11
4WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 with you, O EphraimH6691? WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 with you, O JudahH3063? For your loyaltyH2617 is like a morningH1242 mistH6051, like the earlyH7925 dewH2919 that vanishesH1980.5ThereforeH5921H3651 I have hewnH2672 them by the prophetsH5030; I have slain themH2026 by the wordsH561 of My mouthH6310, and My judgmentsH4941 go forthH3318 like lightningH216.6ForH3588 I desireH2654 mercyH2617, notH3808 sacrificeH2077,2 and the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 rather than burnt offeringsH5930.
7But theyH1992, like AdamH121, have transgressedH56743 the covenantH1285;thereH8033 they were unfaithfulH898 to Me.8GileadH1568 is a cityH7151 of evildoersH6466H205,tracked with footprintsH6121 of bloodH1818.9Like raidersH1416 who lie in ambushH2442H376,so does a bandH2267 of priestsH3548;they murderH7523 on the wayH1870 to ShechemH7927;surelyH3588 they have committedH6213 atrocitiesH2154.10In the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478I have seenH7200 a horrible thingH8186:EphraimH669 practices prostitutionH2184 thereH8033,and IsraelH3478 is defiledH2930.
