Hosea 6:7

But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

But they, like men, have transgressed the covenant - the common sort of men (, "Ye shall die like men"). The margin has it, 'like Adam' (). However, the expression "covenant" is not found elsewhere applied to Adam's relation to God; though the thing seems implied (Romans 5:12, "As by one man's disobedience many were made sinners,"). "As in Adam all die" (). Israel "transgressed the covenant" of God as lightly as men break everyday compacts with their fellow-men.

There have they dealt treacherously against me - "there," in the north kingdom, Israel.
