Hosea 7:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ They do not cry out to me from their heart,
    but they wail on their beds;
because of grain and new wine they lacerate^[a] themselves;
    they depart from me.
¹⁵ And I myself trained
    and strengthened their arms;
        but they plan evil against me.
¹⁶ They turn, not to the Most High,^[b]
    like a slack bow;
their officials will fall by the sword
    because of the anger of their tongue.
This is their scorn^[c]
    in the land of Egypt.
