Treachery and Corruption Condemned

Hosea 6:7-11

And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.

Gilead is a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.

And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder--the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There is the whoredom of Ephraim--defiled is Israel.

Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back to the captivity of My people!
