Hosea 6:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ I ·want [desire; delight in] ·faithful love [mercy; lovingkindness]
    ·more than I want animal sacrifices [^Land not sacrifice].
I want ·people to know me [the knowledge of God]
    more than I want burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17].
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].
