“Their deeds do not permit them
    to return(A) to their God.
A spirit of prostitution(B) is in their heart;
    they do not acknowledge(C) the Lord.
Israel’s arrogance testifies(D) against them;
    the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble(E) in their sin;
    Judah also stumbles with them.(F)
When they go with their flocks and herds
    to seek the Lord,(G)
they will not find him;
    he has withdrawn(H) himself from them.
They are unfaithful(I) to the Lord;
    they give birth to illegitimate(J) children.
When they celebrate their New Moon feasts,(K)
    he will devour[a](L) their fields.
