Hosea 7:15

Ephraim's Guilt

¹⁴ And they have not made prayer to me in their hearts, but they make loud cries on their beds; they are cutting themselves for food and wine, they are turned against me. ¹⁵ Though I have given training and strength to their arms, they have evil designs against me. ¹⁶ They have gone to what is of no value; they are like a false bow; their captains will come to destruction by the sword, and their ruler by my wrath; for this, the land of Egypt will make sport of them.
