O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness [is] as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 5Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments [are as] the light [that] goeth forth. 6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings. 7But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. 8Gilead [is] a city of them that work iniquity, [and is] polluted with blood. 9And as troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. 10I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [is] the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. 11Also, O Judah, he hath set a harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people. ‹Previous chapterHosea 5Next chapterHosea 7›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsHosea 6 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
