Hosea 5:3-5
King James Version
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.

And Israel is not hidden from Me;
For now, O Ephraim, (B)you commit harlotry;

And they do not know the Lord.

Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
Judah also stumbles with them.
