Hosea 5:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴Their deeds do not permit them
to return to their God.
For the spirit of whoredom is within them,
and they do not know the Lord.

⁵Israel’s pride testifies against him;
    Ephraim^[a] stumbles in his guilt;
    Judah also stumbles with them.
⁶With their flocks and herds they shall go
    to seek the Lord,
but they will not find him;
    he has withdrawn from them.
