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 Living Translation
13 “What sorrow awaits those who have deserted me!
Let them die, for they have rebelled against me.
I wanted to redeem them,
but they have told lies about me.
14 They do not cry out to me with sincere hearts.
Instead, they sit on their couches and wail.
They cut themselves,[a] begging foreign gods for grain and new wine,
and they turn away from me.
15 I trained them and made them strong,
yet now they plot evil against me.
16 They look everywhere except to the Most High.
They are as useless as a crooked bow.
Their leaders will be killed by their enemies
because of their insolence toward me.
Then the people of Egypt
will laugh at them.
