Hosea 6:8-10
Easy-to-Read Version
8 Gilead is a city of people who do evil—
people who have tricked and killed others.
9 The priests are like gangs of robbers
hiding and waiting on the road to attack someone.
They murder people before they reach safety in Shechem.
They do such evil things.
10 I have seen a terrible thing in the nation[a] of Israel.
Ephraim was unfaithful to God.
Israel is dirty with sin.
