Hosea 6:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ For steadfast love rather than sacrifice is what pleases me,
    and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

⁷ But in their land^[a] they broke the covenant;
    it was there that they were unfaithful to me.
⁸ Gilead^[b] is a city of evildoers,
    stained with bloody footprints.
