Hosea 7:13-16
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Woe unto them: for they have fled away from me: destruction shall be unto them, because they have transgressed against me: though I have [a]redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 And they have not cried unto me with their hearts, [b]when they howled upon their beds: [c]they assembled themselves for corn, and wine, and they rebel against me.
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arm, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
16 They return, but not to the most high: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage [d]of their tongues: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
