Hosea 5:6

Hosea Warns Against Idolatry

⁵ And the pride of Israel was humbled in his face, and Israel and Ephraim shall be weak in their iniquity; Judah also being weak with them. ⁶ With their sheep and with their oxen they will go to seek Jehovah; and they shall not find; he withdrew himself from them. ⁷ Against Jehovah they acted faithlessly: for they begat strange sons: now shall the new moon consume them with their portions.
