13. “How horrible it will be for these people.They have run away from me.They must be destroyed because they’ve rebelled against me.I want to reclaim them, but they tell lies about me.
14. They don’t pray to me sincerely,even though they cry in their bedsand make cuts on their bodieswhile praying for grain and new wine.They have turned against me.
15. I trained them and made them strong.Yet, they plan evil against me.
16. They don’t return to the Most High.They are like a defective bow.Their officials will die in battlebecause they curse.The people in Egypt will ridicule them for this.
