Hosea 6:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets,
    I have slain them by the words of my mouth,
    and my judgment goes forth as the light.^[a]
⁶For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,
    the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.

⁷But at^[b] Adam they transgressed the covenant;
there they dealt faithlessly with me.
