Hosea 6:7-11

New Living Translation

⁷ But like Adam,^[a] you broke my covenant
    and betrayed my trust.

⁸ “Gilead is a city of sinners,
    tracked with footprints of blood.
⁹ Priests form bands of robbers,
    waiting in ambush for their victims.
They murder travelers along the road to Shechem
    and practice every kind of sin.
¹⁰ Yes, I have seen something horrible in Ephraim and Israel:
    My people are defiled by prostituting themselves with other gods!

¹¹ “O Judah, a harvest of punishment is also waiting for you,
    though I wanted to restore the fortunes of my people.
