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 “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.
