Hosea Warns against Idolatry
4 The evil that the people have done keeps them from returning to their God. Idolatry has a powerful hold on them, and they do not acknowledge the Lord. 5 The arrogance of the people of Israel cries out against them. Their sins make them stumble and fall, and the people of Judah fall with them. 6 They take their sheep and cattle to offer as sacrifices to the Lord, but it does them no good. They cannot find him, for he has left 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he has withdrawn(H) himself from them.
