Hosea 5:6

Hosea Warns Against Idolatry

⁵ And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquity; Judah shall also fall with them. ⁶ They will go with their flocks and herds
To seek the Lord, but they will not find Him;
He has withdrawn from them.
⁷ They have rebelled against the LORD; for they have begotten strange sons; now a month shall devour them with their portions.
