Hosea 6:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ I have warned you by my prophets
    that I will kill you and destroy you.
    My justice comes out like bright light.
⁶ I want faithful love
    more than I want animal sacrifices.
I want people to know me
    more than I want burnt offerings.
⁷ But they have broken the agreement as Adam did;
    they have been unfaithful to me.
