KJV - Hosea 7:16
They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
They come back, but not to the greatest power. They act like a tricky bow. Their leaders will be killed by swords because of their angry words. This will be their shame in Egypt's land.
