Psa 14:4, 79:6, Isa 64:7, Jer 10:25, Dan 9:13, Hos 7:10-14, 14:1-2 | ESV | STEP | Have they no knowledge , all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the Lord ?

7 ^gThere is no one who calls upon your name,
who rouses himself to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
and have made us melt in ^{▼▼Masoretic Text; Septuagint, Syriac, Targum have delivered us into} the hand of our iniquities.

Jeremiah 10:25

25 ⁱPour out your wrath on the nations that know you not,
and on the peoples that call not on your name,
^jfor they have devoured Jacob;
they have devoured him and consumed him,
and have laid waste his habitation.

Daniel 9:13

13 ^kAs it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, ^lturning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth.

Hosea 7:10-14

10 ^mThe pride of Israel testifies to his face; ^{▼▼Or in his presence}
^oyet they do not return to the Lord their God,
nor seek him, for all this.
11 Ephraim is like a dove,
^psilly and without sense,
calling to ^qEgypt, going to ^rAssyria.
12 As they go, ^sI will spread over them my net;
I will bring them down like birds of the heavens;
^tI will discipline them ^uaccording to the report made to their congregation.
13 ^vWoe to them, for they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
^wI would redeem them,
but ^xthey speak lies against me.
14 ^yThey do not cry to me from the heart,
but ^zthey wail upon their beds;
for grain and wine they gash themselves;
they rebel against me.

Hosea 14:1-2

A Plea to Return to the Lord

1 ^aaReturn, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for ^abyou have stumbled because of your iniquity.
2 Take with you words
and return to the Lord;
say to him,
“Take away all iniquity;
accept ^acwhat is good,
and we will pay with bulls
^adthe vows ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac pay the fruit} of our lips.
