Book of Hosea Chapter 5 Vs. 4

 Punishment Coming for Israel and Judah

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. Hos. 5:4

They will not... Turning from a direct address to Ephraim, he uses the third person plural to characterize the people in general. The Hebrew is against the Margin, their doings will not suffer them the omission of them in the Hebrew after the verb being unusual. The sense is, they are incurable, for they will not permit (as the Hebrew literally means), their doings to be framed so as to turn unto God.

Their deeds will not let them return to their God; for a harlot spirit is in their midst, and Jehovah, for all their oaths by Him, they have not known.

for the spirit...Implying that they resist the Spirit of God, not suffering Him to renew them; and give themselves up to the spirit of whoredoms, in antithesis to the Spirit of God implied in suffer or permit (Hos. 4:12; Isa. 63:10; Eze. 16:43; Acts 7:51).

they have not... We see in this verse, not only were they practicing idolatry, but they had the spirit of idolatry, as well. They have turned their will over to evil, instead of to God. Plain and simple, they have fallen in love with false gods and left the One True God.

This wording is probably drawn from Num. 5:20, 5:27-28 where the same verb (ṭāmā) describes the effects of adultery on the unfaithful party (cf. Lev. 18:20, 18:24). Sinful Israel had become so overpowered by a spirit of prostitution (Hos. 5:4; cf. 4:12) that any possibility of repentance and recognition of the Lord’s authority was precluded for the time being.
