Hosea 5:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ “The wicked things that the people have done
keep them from returning to their God.
They have a spirit of prostitution,
and they don’t know the Lord.
⁵ The people of Israel’s arrogance testifies against them.
Israel and Ephraim stumble because of their sins,
and Judah stumbles with them.
⁶ They go with their sheep and their cattle to search for the Lord,
but they can’t find him.
He has left them.
