Hosea 5:2-4

Lexham English Bible

² they dug a deep pit^[a] in Shittim,
    but I am a punishment for all of them.
³ I myself know Ephraim,
    and Israel is not hidden from me;
because now you have played the whore, O Ephraim—
    Israel is defiled.
⁴ Their deeds do not permit them
    to return them to God.
Because a spirit of whoredom is in their midst,
    they do not know Yahweh.
