Hosea 6:7-11
New American Standard Bible
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.

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.
