Hosea 7:13-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹³ Woe to them,^(A) for they fled from me;^(B)
destruction to them, for they rebelled against me!
Though I want to redeem them,^(C)
they speak lies against me.
¹⁴ They do not cry to me from their hearts;
rather, they wail on their beds.
They slash themselves^[a](D) for grain and new wine;^(E)
they turn away from me.
¹⁵ I trained and strengthened their arms,^(F)
but they plot evil against me.^(G)
16 They turn, but not to what is above;^[b]
they are like a faulty bow.^(H)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent tongue.^(I)
They will be ridiculed for this in the land of Egypt.^(J)
