The Lord’s Second Lament

13 Woe to them,(A) for they fled from Me;(B)
destruction to them, for they rebelled against Me!
Though I want to redeem them,(C)
they speak lies against Me.
14 They do not cry to Me from their hearts;
rather, they wail on their beds.
They slash themselves[a](D) for grain and new wine;(E)
they turn away from Me.
15 I trained and strengthened their arms,(F)
but they plot evil against Me.(G)
