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 Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
I would redeem them,
but they speak lies against me.(A)
14 They do not cry to me from the heart,
but they wail upon their beds;
they gash themselves for grain and wine;
they rebel against me.(B)
15 It was I who trained and strengthened their arms,
yet they plot evil against me.(C)
16 They turn to that which does not profit;[a]
they have become like a defective bow;
their officials shall fall by the sword
because of the rage of their tongue.
So much for their babbling in the land of Egypt.(D)
