Hosea 5:4

Hosea Warns Against Idolatry

³ I know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hidden from Me.
For now, Ephraim,
you have acted promiscuously;
Israel is defiled.
⁴ Their actions do not allow them
to return to their God,
for a spirit of promiscuity is among them,
and they do not know the Lord.
⁵ Israel’s arrogance testifies against them.
Both Israel and Ephraim stumble
because of their wickedness;
even Judah will stumble with them.

It is I

Know the Lord

Knowledge of the Lord

Give Heed

O God

Jehovah

No
