13 Woe to them, because they have strayed from me!
    Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me!
I myself would redeem them,
    but they speak lies against me.
14 They do not cry out to me from their heart,
    but they wail on their beds;
because of grain and new wine they lacerate[a] themselves;
    they depart from me.
15 And I myself trained
    and strengthened their arms;
        but they plan evil against me.

    but wail on their beds.

    for grain and new wine,(F)
    but they turn away from me.(G)
15 I trained(H) them and strengthened their arms,
    but they plot evil(I) against me.
