Hosea 7:14-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ They do not cry to me from their hearts;
rather, they wail on their beds.
They slash themselves^[a](A) for grain and new wine;^(B)
they turn away from me.
¹⁵ I trained and strengthened their arms,^(C)
but they plot evil against me.^(D)
16 They turn, but not to what is above;^[b]
they are like a faulty bow.^(E)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent tongue.^(F)
They will be ridiculed for this in the land of Egypt.^(G)
