13 Woe to them,
    for they have fled from Me!
Destruction to them,
    for they have rebelled against Me!
Though I would redeem them,
    yet they speak lies against Me.
14 They do not cry to Me with their heart
    when they howl on their beds.
They gather together for grain and wine,
    they rebel against Me.
15 Though I trained and strengthened their arms,
    yet they devise mischief against Me.

13 Woe(A) to them,
    because they have strayed(B) from me!
Destruction to them,
    because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
    but they speak about me(C) falsely.(D)
14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts(E)
    but wail on their beds.
They slash themselves,[a] appealing to their gods
    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.
