Hosea 6:8 in context

    and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
  2. 7But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant.
    They were unfaithful to me, there.
  3. 8Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity;
    it is stained with blood.
  4. 9As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man,
    so the company of priests murder on the path toward Shechem,
    committing shameful crimes.
  5. 10In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing.
    There is prostitution in Ephraim.
    Israel is defiled.
