Hosea 6:5-7

World English Bible

⁵ Therefore I have cut them to pieces with the prophets;
    I killed them with the words of my mouth.
    Your judgments are like a flash of lightning.
⁶ For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice;
    and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
⁷ But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant.
    They were unfaithful to me, there.
