Hosea 7:13-16
English Standard Version
13 (A)Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
(B)I would redeem them,
but (C)they speak lies against me.
14 (D)They do not cry to me from the heart,
but (E)they wail upon their beds;
for grain and wine they gash themselves;
they rebel against me.
15 Although (F)I trained and strengthened their arms,
yet they devise evil against me.
16 They (G)return, but not upward;[a]
they are (H)like a treacherous bow;
their princes shall fall by the sword
because of (I)the insolence of their tongue.
This shall be their derision (J)in the land of Egypt.

Hosea 7:13-16
International Standard Version
13 Woe to them—
because they have run away from me.
Ruin to them—
because they have sinned against me.
Even though I redeemed them,
they spread lies against me.
14 They will not cry to me from their heart—
instead, they wail on their beds.
They gather together to eat and drink,[a]
turning away from me.
15 “Though I have taught them
and strengthened their arms,
nevertheless they plot evil against me.
16 They return—but not to the Most High.
They are like a defective weapon.[b]
Their princes will fall by the sword
because of their raging tongue,
and they will be a laughingstock in the land of Egypt.”

13 Woe(A) to them,
because they have strayed(B) from me!
Destruction to them,
because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
but they speak about me(C) falsely.(D)
14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts(E)
but wail on their beds.
They slash themselves,[a] appealing to their gods
for grain and new wine,(F)
but they turn away from me.(G)
15 I trained(H) them and strengthened their arms,
but they plot evil(I) against me.
16 They do not turn to the Most High;(J)
they are like a faulty bow.(K)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent(L) words.
For this they will be ridiculed(M)
in the land of Egypt.(N)
