Hosea 7:13-16
Authorized (King James) Version
13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me:
destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me:
though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart,
when they howled upon their beds:
they assemble themselves for corn and wine,
and they rebel against me.
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms,
yet do they imagine mischief against me.
16 They return, but not to the most High:
they are like a deceitful bow:
their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue:
this shall be their derision 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.
