Hosea 6:5-7

21st Century King James Version

⁵ Therefore have I hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.

⁶ For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

⁷ But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
