Hosea 7:12-16
English Standard Version
12 As they go, (A)I will spread over them my net;
I will bring them down like birds of the heavens;
(B)I will discipline them (C)according to the report made to their congregation.
13 (D)Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
(E)I would redeem them,
but (F)they speak lies against me.
14 (G)They do not cry to me from the heart,
but (H)they wail upon their beds;
for grain and wine they gash themselves;
they rebel against me.
15 Although (I)I trained and strengthened their arms,
yet they devise evil against me.
16 They (J)return, but not upward;[a]
they are (K)like a treacherous bow;
their princes shall fall by the sword
because of (L)the insolence of their tongue.
This shall be their derision (M)in the land of Egypt.
