Hosea 6:6-8

The Voice

⁶     For I want not animal sacrifices, but mercy.^[a]
        I don’t want burnt offerings; I want people to know Me as God!
⁷     They broke their covenant with Me, treated it as just a common human affair;
        they were unfaithful to Me there.
⁸     The city of Gilead is full of evil, murderous people.
        Their footprints are bloody.
