Hosea 7:13-15

New Living Translation

¹³ “What sorrow awaits those who have deserted me!
    Let them die, for they have rebelled against me.
I wanted to redeem them,
    but they have told lies about me.
¹⁴ They do not cry out to me with sincere hearts.
    Instead, they sit on their couches and wail.
They cut themselves,^[a] begging foreign gods for grain and new wine,
    and they turn away from me.
¹⁵ I trained them and made them strong,
    yet now they plot evil against me.
