Hosea 6:5-7
New International Version - UK

5 Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
    I killed you with the words of my mouth –
    then my judgments go forth like the sun.[a]
6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
    and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
7 As at Adam,[b] they have broken the covenant;
    they were unfaithful to me there.
