Hosea 5:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ Israel, I know all about you,
and because of your unfaithfulness,
    I find you unacceptable.
⁴ Your evil deeds are the reason
you won't return to me,
    your Lord God.
And your constant craving for sex
    keeps you from knowing me.

⁵ Israel, your pride
    testifies to your guilt;
it makes you stumble,
    and Judah stumbles too.
