Their 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.

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    he has withdrawn from them.
