“They return, but not to the Most High.They are like a faulty bow.Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue.This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.”
Hosea 7:16 (WEB)
Context Reading
14They haven’t cried to me with their heart,but they howl on their beds.They assemble themselves for grain and new wine.They turn away from me. 15Though I have taught and strengthened their arms,yet they plot evil against me. 16They return, but not to the Most High.They are like a faulty bow.Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue.This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
