Hosea 7:13-16
World English Bible
13 Woe to them!
For they have wandered from me.
Destruction to them!
For they have trespassed against me.
Though I would redeem them,
yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 They haven’t cried to me with their heart,
but they howl on their beds.
They assemble themselves for grain and new wine.
They turn away from me.
15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms,
yet they plot evil against me.
16 They return, but not to the Most High.
They are like a faulty bow.
Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue.
This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Hosea 7:13-16

Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
(B)I would redeem them,
but (C)they speak lies against me.

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.
