Hosea 7:14-16

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁴ They have not cried out to me from their hearts,
even though they wail on their beds.
They assemble themselves for grain and wine,
yet turn away from me.
¹⁵ It was I who trained and strengthened their arms,
yet they plot evil against me.
¹⁶ They return, but not upward;
they are like an unreliable bow.
Their leaders will die by the sword
because of their angry talk.
They will become a laughingstock
in the land of Egypt.
