Hosea 7:15-16

The Voice

¹⁵     I trained them, I made their arms strong, I could have protected them,
        but they devised evil schemes against Me.
¹⁶     They turn for help, but not to the Most High;
        they’ve become as weak and ineffective as a loosely-strung bow.
    Because of their defiant words, their leaders will be killed in battle,
        and they’ll be the laughingstock of everyone in Egypt.
