Hosea 6:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 I used the prophets
and made laws for the people.
The people were killed at my command,
but good things will come from those decisions.[a]
6 This is because I want faithful love,
not sacrifice.
I want people to know God,
not to bring burnt offerings.
7 But the people broke the agreement as Adam did.[b]
They were unfaithful to me in their country.

7 As at Adam,[b] they have broken the covenant;(F)
they were unfaithful(G) to me there.
