13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
    Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
I would redeem them,
    but they speak lies against me.

14 They do not cry to me from the heart,
    but they wail upon their beds;
for grain and wine they gash themselves,
    they rebel against me.
15 Although I trained and strengthened their arms,
    yet they devise evil against me.
16 They turn to Ba′al;[a]
    they are like a treacherous bow,
their princes shall fall by the sword
    because of the insolence of their tongue.
This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
