Hosea 7:13-16 - The Lord's Second Lament
13
destruction to them, for they rebelled against Me!
Though I want to redeem them,
they speak lies against Me.
rather, they wail on their beds.
They slash themselves
they turn away from Me.
but they plot evil against Me.
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.
