Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 7 of Hosea. Israel has turned away from the Lord and cries out in times of need, but does not do so with a sincere heart. They wail on their beds for grain and wine, but do not truly return to God. The prophet concludes that they are like a deceitful bow: they appear strong but lack faithfulness. Their leaders will fall because of the arrogant words they have spoken against God.

Weh ihnen, daß sie von mir weichen! Sie müssen verstört werden; denn sie sind von mir abtrünnig geworden! Ich wollte sie wohl erlösen, wenn sie nicht wider mich Lügen lehrten.
¡Ay de ellos! porque se apartaron de mí: destrucción sobre ellos, porque contra mí se rebelaron; yo los redimí, y ellos hablaron contra mí mentiras.
¡Ay de ellos, porque se han alejado de mí! ¡Destrucción sobre ellos, porque se han rebelado contra mí! Yo los redimiría, pero ellos han hablado mentiras contra mí.
Malheur à eux, parce qu'ils me fuient! Ruine sur eux, parce qu'ils me sont infidèles! Je voudrais les sauver, Mais ils disent contre moi des paroles mensongères.
Guai a loro! perciocchè si sono deviati da me; guastamento avverrà loro, perciocchè han misfatto contro a me; ed io li ho riscossi, ma essi mi hanno parlato con menzogne.
Ai deles, porque fugiram de mim; destruição sobre eles, porque se rebelaram contra mim; eu os remi, mas disseram mentiras contra mim.
他們因離棄我,必定有禍; 因違背我,必遭毀滅。 我雖想要救贖他們,他們卻向我說謊。
