Hosea 5:4-6

Revised Standard Version

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.

⁵The pride of Israel testifies to his face;
    E′phraim ^[a] shall stumble in his guilt;
    Judah also shall stumble with them.
⁶With their flocks and herds they shall go
    to seek the Lord,
but they will not find him;
    he has withdrawn from them.
