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.

The Lord’s Second Lament
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)
