Hosea 7:15-16

Common English Bible

¹⁵ It was I who gave them their strength,
        yet they plot evil against me.
¹⁶ They return, but not to the Most High;^[a]
    they have become like a worthless bow;
        their officials will fall by the sword
        because of the rage of their tongues;
        in Egypt they will make fun of them.^[b]
