And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.

Verse 14 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.

So rufen sie mich auch nicht an von Herzen, sondern Heulen auf ihren Lagern. Sie sammeln sich um Korn und Mosts willen und sind mir ungehorsam.
Y no clamaron a mí con su corazón cuando aullaron sobre sus camas, para el trigo y el mosto se congregaron, rebeláronse contra mí.
No han clamado a mí de corazón, sino que gimen sobre sus lechos; se reúnen por el grano y el vino nuevo, y se apartan de mí.
Ils ne crient pas vers moi dans leur coeur, Mais ils se lamentent sur leur couche; Ils se rassemblent pour avoir du blé et du moût, Et ils s'éloignent de moi.
E non hanno gridato a me col cuor loro; anzi hanno urlato sopra i lor letti; si son radunati per lo frumento, e per lo mosto; si son rivolti contro a me.
E não clamaram a mim com seu coração, mas davam uivos nas suas camas; para o trigo e para o vinho se ajuntam, mas contra mim se rebelam.
他們在床上呼號, 卻不誠心哀求我; 他們為求五穀新酒而聚集 , 卻背叛我。
