Hosea 7:13-16
New International Version
13 Woe(A) to them,
because they have strayed(B) from me!
Destruction to them,
because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
but they speak about me(C) falsely.(D)
14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts(E)
but wail on their beds.
They slash themselves,[a] appealing to their gods
for grain and new wine,(F)
but they turn away from me.(G)
15 I trained(H) them and strengthened their arms,
but they plot evil(I) against me.
16 They do not turn to the Most High;(J)
they are like a faulty bow.(K)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent(L) words.
For this they will be ridiculed(M)
in the land of Egypt.(N)

New American Standard Bible
13 (A)Woe to them, for they have (B)strayed from Me!
Destruction is theirs, for they have rebelled against Me!
I (C)would redeem them, but they have spoken lies against Me.
14 And (D)they do not cry to Me from their heart
When they wail on their beds;
For the sake of grain and new wine they [a](E)assemble themselves,
They (F)turn against Me.
15 Although I trained and strengthened their arms,
Yet they (G)devise evil against Me.
16 They turn, but not [b]upward,
They are like a (H)loose bow;
Their officials will fall by the sword
Because of the [c](I)insolence of their tongue.
This will be their (J)derision in the land of Egypt.
