Hosea 5:4

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

And yet ye know him not; but I know Him: and if I should say, That I know Him not, I shall be like you, a liar: but I know Him, and obey his word.

And these things will they do unto you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.

And for this cause God will send upon them the efficacy of error, so that they shall themselves believe the lie:

And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep his commandments.
