Hosea 6:5-7
Contemporary English Version

5 That's why I slaughtered you
with the words
    of my prophets.
That's why my judgments blazed
    like the dawning sun.[a]
6 (A) I'd rather for you to be faithful
and to know me
    than to offer sacrifices.

7 At a place named Adam,
you[b] betrayed me
    by breaking our agreement.
