Hosea 7:15

Ephraim's Guilt

¹⁴ And they have not cried unto me with their heart when they howled upon their beds; they congregated themselves for the wheat and the wine, and they rebelled against me. ¹⁵ Although I trained and strengthened their arms,
Yet they devise evil against Me.
¹⁶ They returned, but not to the most High; they were like a deceitful bow; their princes fell by the sword for the arrogance of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
