Hosea 7:15

Ephraim's Guilt

¹⁴ And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against me. ¹⁵ Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise mischief against me. ¹⁶ They return, but not to him that is on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
