Hosea 5:6

Hosea Warns Against Idolatry

⁵ And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs. ⁶ They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view. ⁷ They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
