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.
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 They will go with their flocks and herds To seek the Lord, but they will not find Him; He has withdrawn from them.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 dealt treacherously against the Lord, For they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their land.
