Hosea 7:16

Ephraim's Guilt

¹⁵ I trained and strengthened their arms,
but they plot evil against Me.
¹⁶ They turn, but not to what is above;
they are like a faulty bow.
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of the cursing of their tongue.
They will be ridiculed for this in the land of Egypt.
