“Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God,for the spirit of prostitution is within them,and they don’t know Yahweh.”
Hosea 5:4 (WEB)
Context Reading
2The rebels are deep in slaughter,but I discipline all of them. 3I know Ephraim,and Israel is not hidden from me;for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute.Israel is defiled. 4Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God,for the spirit of prostitution is within them,and they don’t know Yahweh. 5The pride of Israel testifies to his face.Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity.Judah also will stumble with them. 6They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh,but they won’t find him.He has withdrawn himself from them.
