They will (A)go with their flocks and herds
To seek the Lord, but they will (B)not find Him;
He has (C)withdrawn from them.
They have (D)dealt treacherously with the Lord,
For they have given birth to [a](E)illegitimate children.
Now the (F)new moon will devour them with their [b]land.

  2. Hosea 5:7 Lit portions

When they come with their flocks and herds
    to offer sacrifices to the Lord,
they will not find him,
    because he has withdrawn from them.
They have betrayed the honor of the Lord,
    bearing children that are not his.
Now their false religion will devour them
    along with their wealth.[a]
