Hosea 7:15-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ I trained them and made their arms strong,
    but they made evil plans against me.
¹⁶ Like a boomerang, they changed directions,
    but they did not come back to me.^[a]
Their leaders bragged about their strength,
    but they will be killed with swords.
And the people in Egypt
    will laugh at them.
