Hosea 7:16
Berean Standard Bible
They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the cursing of their tongue; for this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.
Context
14They do not cry out to Me from their hearts
when they wail upon their beds.
They slash themselves * for grain and new wine,
but turn away from Me. 15Although I trained and strengthened their arms,
they plot evil against Me. 16They turn, but not to the Most High;
they are like a faulty bow.
Their leaders will fall by the sword
for the cursing of their tongue;
for this they will be ridiculed
in the land of Egypt.
