14 (A)They do not cry to me from the heart,
    but (B)they wail upon their beds;
for grain and wine they gash themselves;
    they rebel against me.
15 Although (C)I trained and strengthened their arms,
    yet they devise evil against me.
16 They (D)return, but not upward;[a]
    they are (E)like a treacherous bow;
their princes shall fall by the sword
    because of (F)the insolence of their tongue.
This shall be their derision (G)in the land of Egypt.
