Hosea 5:4

Hosea Warns Against Idolatry

³ I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me;
For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot,
Israel has defiled itself.
⁴ Their deeds will not allow them
To return to their God.
For a spirit of harlotry is within them,
And they do not know the Lord.
⁵ Moreover, the pride of Israel testifies against him,
And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
Judah also has stumbled with them.

Have No Knowledge

It is I

Know the Lord

Knowledge of the Lord

Give Heed

O God

Jehovah

No
