Israel’s ·pride [arrogance] testifies against them.
    ·The people of Israel [L Israel and Ephraim; 4:17] will stumble because of their ·sin [iniquity],
    and ·the people of Judah [L Judah] will stumble with them.
They will come to ·worship [L seek] the Lord,
    bringing their flocks and herds,
but they will not be able to find him,
    because he has ·left [withdrawn from] them.
They have ·not been true to [been unfaithful to; dealt treacherously with] the Lord;
    they ·are children who do not belong to him [or bear illegitimate/alien children].
So ·their false worship [L a new moon; C a festival]
    will ·destroy [L devour] them and their ·land [wealth; portion].
