Hosea 7:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

¹³ Terrible trouble will happen to them,
because they have gone away from me.
They have turned against me, so they will die.
I wanted to rescue them,
but they have told lies about me.
¹⁴ They do not pray and trust me to help them.
Instead, they lie down on their beds and they weep loudly.
They cut their bodies to get grain and wine.^[a]
They turn away from me.
¹⁵ I taught them what was right. I made them strong.
But now they have decided to do evil things against me.
