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)

  1. Hosea 7:14 Some Hebrew manuscripts and Septuagint; most Hebrew manuscripts They gather together

13 Doom to them, for they have strayed from me;
        destruction will be their lot because they have rebelled against me.
    I would redeem them,
        but they speak lies against me.
14 They don’t cry to me from the heart,
        but they sob upon their beds;
    they fight[a] over grain and wine;
        they resist me.
15 It was I who gave them their strength,
        yet they plot evil against me.
16 They return, but not to the Most High;[b]
    they have become like a worthless bow;
        their officials will fall by the sword
        because of the rage of their tongues;
        in Egypt they will make fun of them.[c]
