Hosea 7:13-16
Lexham English Bible
13 Woe to them, because they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me!
I myself would redeem them,
but they speak lies against me.
14 They do not cry out to me from their heart,
but they wail on their beds;
because of grain and new wine they lacerate[a] themselves;
they depart from me.
15 And I myself trained
and strengthened their arms;
but they plan evil against me.
16 They turn, not to the Most High,[b]
like a slack bow;
their officials will fall by the sword
because of the anger of their tongue.
This is their scorn[c]
in the land of Egypt.
