Hosea 7:13-16
Legacy Standard Bible
13 (A)Woe to them, for they have (B)fled from Me!
Destruction is theirs, for they have transgressed against Me!
And I (C)would redeem them, but they speak lies against Me.
14 And (D)they do not cry out to Me in their heart
When they wail on their beds;
For the sake of grain and new wine they [a](E)gather together as sojourners;
They (F)depart from Me.
15 Although I disciplined and strengthened their arms,
Yet they (G)devise evil against Me.
16 They turn, but not [b]upward;
They are like a (H)deceitful bow;
Their princes will fall by the sword
Because of the [c](I)indignation of their tongue.
This will be their (J)scoffing in the land of Egypt.

Hosea 7:13-16
New King James Version
13 “Woe to them, for they have fled from Me!
Destruction to them,
Because they have transgressed against Me!
Though (A)I redeemed them,
Yet they have spoken lies against Me.
14 (B)They did not cry out to Me with their heart
When they wailed upon their beds.
“They [a]assemble together for grain and new (C)wine,
[b]They rebel against Me;
15 Though I disciplined and strengthened their arms,
Yet they devise evil against Me;
16 They return, but not [c]to the Most High;
(D)They are like a treacherous bow.
Their princes shall fall by the sword
For the (E)cursings of their tongue.
This shall be their derision (F)in the land of Egypt.
