Hosea 6:11-7:2

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ “Judah, I have set a time to punish you also.
“I would like to give my people back their riches.

7 I would like to heal Israel.
    But their sin can be seen by everyone.
    The wickedness of Israel is too well-known.
They cheat one another.
    They break into other peoples’ houses.
    There are robberies in the streets.
² It never enters their minds
    that I remember all their wicked deeds.
The bad things they do are all around,
    and I can see their sins clearly.
