Hosea 7:13

Israel Has Turned Away from the Lord

7:13 Woe to them! For they have fled from me!

Destruction to them! For they have rebelled against me!

I want to deliver ¹  them,

but they have lied to me.

Hosea 9:12

9:12 Even if they raise their children,

I will take away every last one of them. ² 

Woe to them!

For I will turn away from them.
