Hosea 5:2-4

Revised Standard Version

²And they have made deep the pit of Shittim;^[a]
but I will chastise all of them.

³I know E′phraim,
    and Israel is not hid from me;
for now, O E′phraim, you have played the harlot,
    Israel is defiled.
⁴Their deeds do not permit them
    to return to their God.
For the spirit of harlotry is within them,
    and they know not the Lord.
