Hosea 6:7-11
English Standard Version
7 But (A)like Adam they (B)transgressed the covenant;
(C)there they dealt faithlessly with me.
8 (D)Gilead is a city of evildoers,
(E)tracked with blood.
9 As robbers (F)lie in wait for a man,
so the priests band together;
they murder on the way to (G)Shechem;
they commit villainy.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing;
(H)Ephraim's whoredom is there; (I)Israel is defiled.
When (L)I restore the fortunes of my people,
Hosea 6:7-11
Lexham English Bible
7 But like Adam, they transgressed the covenant;
there they dealt faithlessly with me.
8 Gilead is a city of evil,
a cunning city because of blood.[a]
9 Like bandits lying in wait,
so is a band of priests;
they murder on the road to Shechem;
indeed, they commit a monstrous crime.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen something horrible;
Ephraim’s unfaithfulness is there.
Israel is defiled.
Ephraim’s Guilt
11 For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed,
when I restore the fortunes of my people,
