Hosea 5:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible
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. 7 They have turned against the Lord. Their children do not belong to him. They enjoy the new moon feast. But that will soon destroy them and the crops in their fields.’

New International Version
5 Israel’s arrogance testifies(A) against them;
the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble(B) in their sin;
Judah also stumbles with them.(C)
6 When they go with their flocks and herds
to seek the Lord,(D)
they will not find him;
he has withdrawn(E) himself from them.
7 They are unfaithful(F) to the Lord;
they give birth to illegitimate(G) children.
When they celebrate their New Moon feasts,(H)
he will devour[a](I) their fields.
