Hosea 7:15-16

New Century Version

¹⁵ Though I trained them and gave them strength,
    they have made evil plans against me.
¹⁶ They did not turn to the Most High God.
    They are like a loose bow that can’t shoot.
Because their leaders brag about their strength,
    they will be killed with swords,
and the people in Egypt
    will laugh at them.
