Hosea 7:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ They lie there sleepless with anxiety but won’t ask my help. Instead, they worship heathen gods, asking them for crops and for prosperity.

¹⁵ “I have helped them and made them strong, yet now they turn against me.

¹⁶ “They look everywhere except to heaven, to the Most High God. They are like a crooked bow that always misses targets; their leaders will perish by the sword of the enemy for their insolence to me. And all Egypt will laugh at them.
