Hosea 5:4-7 - Hosea Warns Against Idolatry

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.
⁶ They go with their flocks and herds
to seek the Lord
but do not find Him;
He has withdrawn from them.
⁷ They betrayed the Lord;
indeed, they gave birth to illegitimate children.
Now the New Moon will devour them
along with their fields.
