Hosea 6:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 For this reason I struck them down through the prophets,
I killed them by the words of my mouth;[a](A)
my judgment shines forth like the light.
6 For it is loyalty that I desire, not sacrifice,
and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.(B)
Further Crimes of Israel
7 But they, at Adam,[b] violated the covenant;
there they betrayed me.
Hosea 6:5-7

5 Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
I killed you with the words of my mouth(A)—
then my judgments go forth like the sun.[a](B)

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