Hosea 5:4

They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.

KJV

Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum, quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.

Vulgate

οὐκ ἔδωκαν τὰ διαβούλια αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς τὸν θεὸν αὐτῶν, ὅτι πνεῦμα πορνίας ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐστίν, τὸν δὲ κύριον οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν.

LXX

Their doings will not suffer them to turn unto their God; for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not Jehovah.
