Hosea 7:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Wherever they turn,
    I will cast my net over them.
I will bring them down
    like birds of the sky.
I will discipline them
    because of their evil deeds.
¹³ Woe to them,
    for they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them,
    for they have rebelled against me!
I longed to redeem them,
    but they continued to tell lies about me.
¹⁴ They have not cried out to me from their hearts
    while they wailed upon their beds.
When they gash themselves to obtain grain and new wine,^[a]
    they are still rebelling against me.
