Hosea 6:7-11
Expanded Bible
7 But they ·have broken [transgressed] the ·agreement [covenant] as ·Adam did [or human beings did; or they did at Adamah; Josh. 3:16];
they have ·been unfaithful to [dealt treacherously with] me.
8 Gilead is a city of ·people who do evil [sinners; evildoers];
·their footprints are bloody [tracked with bloody footprints].
9 The ·priests [L company of priests] are like robbers ·waiting [lying in ambush] to attack people;
they murder people on the road to Shechem [C a city of refuge for someone who committed involuntary manslaughter; Josh. 20:7; 21:21; 1 Chr. 6:67]
and do wicked things.
10 I have seen horrible things in ·Israel [or the temple of Israel; L the house of Israel].
Look at ·Israel’s [L Ephraim’s; 4:17] prostitution;
Israel has become ·unclean [defiled].
11 “Judah, I have ·set [appointed] a harvest time for you
when I will ·make the lives of my people good again [restore the fortunes of my people; or return my people from captivity].

7 But (A)like [a]Adam they have (B)violated the covenant;
There they have (C)dealt treacherously with Me.
8 (D)Gilead is a city of wrongdoers,
Tracked with (E)bloody footprints.
9 And as a (F)band of robbers lie in wait for a person,
So a band of priests (G)murder on the way to Shechem;
Certainly they have committed an act of (H)infamy.
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a (I)horrible thing;
Ephraim’s (J)infidelity is there, Israel has defiled itself.
11 Also, Judah, there is a (K)harvest appointed for you,
When I (L)restore the fortunes of My people.
