Hosea 6:10

Verse 10 of 11. The 6th of 14 chapters in Hosea, in The Minor Prophets.

6For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

7But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me there.

8Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained with blood.

9As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man, so the company of priests murder on the path toward Shechem, committing shameful crimes.

10In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing. There is prostitution in Ephraim. Israel is defiled.

11“Also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, when I restore the fortunes of my people.
