Hosea 6:7-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 But at[a] Adam they transgressed the covenant;
there they dealt faithlessly with me.
8 Gilead is a city of evildoers,
tracked with blood.
9 As robbers lie in wait[b] for someone,
so the priests are banded together;[c]
they murder on the road to Shechem;
they commit a monstrous crime.(A)
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing;
Ephraim’s prostitution is there; Israel is defiled.(B)
11 For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed.
When I would restore the fortunes of my people,(C)
Hosea 6:7-11
International Standard Version
7 “But like Adam,[a] they broke the covenant;
in this they have acted deceitfully against me.
8 Gilead is a lawless town;
it is polluted by bloodshed.
9 Like a gang of thieves that stalk a man,
priests commit murder along the road to Shechem,
committing shameful crimes.
10 I have seen a horrible evil in the house of Israel—
Ephraim’s promiscuity.
Israel is defiled.
11 “So, Judah, a harvest has been appointed for you
when I restore my people from captivity.”
