Context of Hosea 6:11
9Like marauding bands waiting for a man, so a company of priests murders on the way toward Shechem. For they have committed crime. 10In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim’s prostitution is there, Israel has become unclean. Also, Judah, there is a harvest for you, when I return My people from captivity.”
