7 All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers.All their kings have fallen; none of them calls upon me.(A)
14 They do not cry to me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds;they gash themselves for grain and wine; they rebel against me.(A)
4 Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God.For the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the Lord.(A)
5 Israel’s pride testifies against him; Ephraim[a] stumbles in his guilt; Judah also stumbles with them.(A)
