Hosea 5:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible
4 Yes, the sins of the Israelites do not allow them to return to me, the Lord their God. They are not faithful to me and they love to worship idols. They do not want to know me. 5 The Israelites are proud of what they do, and that shows that they are guilty. Their sins cause them to fall into great trouble. That will happen to the people of Israel and Ephraim. And the people of Judah will fall with them.
6 They take their sheep and cows to offer as sacrifices to the Lord. They want the Lord to help them, but he does not answer them. They cannot find him because he has gone away from them.

Hosea 5:4-6
New International Version
4 “Their deeds do not permit them
to return(A) to their God.
A spirit of prostitution(B) is in their heart;
they do not acknowledge(C) the Lord.
5 Israel’s arrogance testifies(D) against them;
the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble(E) in their sin;
Judah also stumbles with them.(F)
6 When they go with their flocks and herds
to seek the Lord,(G)
they will not find him;
he has withdrawn(H) himself from them.
