Hosea 7:16

They return, but not upright [to the Most High God, but to the idol Baal],
they have become like deceitful bows [that do not hit the target],
their princes shall fall by the sword,
because of their furious tongue [their prayers to the idol Baal].
This shall be their sorrow
in the land of Egypt.
