Hosea 6:7-11

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Just as at the city of Adam, they disobeyed me,
    they have broken the covenant I made with them.
    They were not faithful to me there.
⁸ Ramoth Gilead is a city where sinful people live.
    It is stained with footprints of blood.
⁹ On the road to Shechem, groups of priests act like robbers.
    They hide and wait to attack people.
They murder them.
    So they carry out their evil plans.
¹⁰ I have seen a horrible thing in Israel.
The people of Ephraim are unfaithful to their own God.
    The people of Israel are ‘unclean.’
