Hosea 6:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ For I desire mercy,^[a] and not sacrifice,
    and the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.
⁷ Like Adam,^[b] they have broken the covenant.
    They acted treacherously against me there.
⁸ Gilead is a city of evildoers,
    stained with bloody footprints.
