Hosea 6:6-11

6:6

For I desired
<02654> (8804)

mercy
<02617>_,

and not sacrifice
<02077>_;

and the knowledge
<01847>

of God
<0430>

more than burnt offerings
<05930>_.

6:7

But they like men
<0120>

have transgressed
<05674> (8804)

the covenant
<01285>_:

there have they dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)

against me. {men: or, Adam}

6:8

Gilead
<01568>

[is] a city
<07151>

of them that work
<06466> (8802)

iniquity
<0205>_,

[and is] polluted
<06121>

with blood
<01818>_.

{polluted: or, cunning for}

6:9

And as troops
<01416>

of robbers wait
<02442> (8763)

for a man
<0376>_,

[so] the company
<02267>

of priests
<03548>

murder
<07523> (8762)

in the way
<01870>

by consent
<07926> (8677) <07927>_:

for they commit
<06213> (8804)

lewdness
<02154>_.

{by...: Heb. with one shoulder, or, to Shechem} {lewdness: or, enormity}

6:10

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

an horrible thing
<08186>

in the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_:

there [is] the whoredom
<02184>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

Israel
<03478>

is defiled
<02930> (8738)_.

6:11

Also, O Judah
<03063>_,

he hath set
<07896> (8804)

an harvest
<07105>

for thee, when I returned
<07725> (8800)

the captivity
<07622>

of my people
<05971>_.
