14 They do not cry to me from their hearts;
rather, they wail on their beds.
They slash themselves[a](A) for grain and new wine;(B)
they turn away from me.
15 I trained and strengthened their arms,(C)
but they plot evil against me.(D)
16 They turn, but not to what is above;[b]
they are like a faulty bow.(E)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent tongue.(F)
They will be ridiculed for this in the land of Egypt.(G)
