Hosea 6:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ The priests are like gangs of robbers
    hiding and waiting on the road to attack someone.
They murder people before they reach safety in Shechem.
    They do such evil things.
¹⁰ I have seen a terrible thing in the nation^[a] of Israel.
Ephraim was unfaithful to God.
    Israel is dirty with sin.
¹¹ Judah, there is also a time of harvest for you.
    It will happen when I bring my people back from captivity.^[b]
