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.
