Hosea 7:16

Hosea 7:16

14 ^aThey did not cry out to Me with their heart
When they wailed upon their beds.
“They¹ assemble together for grain and new ^bwine,
¹They rebel against Me;

15 Though I disciplined and strengthened their arms,
Yet they devise evil against Me;

16 They return, but not¹ to the Most High;
^aThey are like a treacherous bow.
Their princes shall fall by the sword
For the ^bcursings of their tongue.
This shall be their derision ^cin the land of Egypt.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hosea 7:15

Hosea 8:1 >>

Not to the most high - What shew soever of repentance was among them, yet they never throughly repented. A deceitful bow - Tho' they seemed bent for, and aiming at the mark, yet like a weak bow they carried not the arrow home, and like a false bow they never carried it strait toward the mark. The rage of their tongue - Against God, his prophets and providence. Their derision - They shall be upbraided with this.
