Hosea 7:16
Thia KJV (พระคัมภีร์ภาษาไทยฉบับ KJV)
ข้อนี้หมายความว่าอะไร?
This verse from Hosea criticizes Israel for not truly returning to God but instead acting deceitfully, like a bow that fails when used. It warns of consequences, including the fall of their leaders due to their harsh words and being mocked in Egypt.
อธิบายสำหรับเด็ก
Imagine you have a toy bow that looks cool but never works right when you try to use it. This is how God sees Israel—they pretend to be good but aren't truly trying. He warns that if they keep talking meanly, bad things will happen to their leaders and people might laugh at them in Egypt.

In modern terms, if someone pretends to be a friend but often lies or betrays you, they are like that 'deceitful bow.' It's important to be genuinely good in our relationships instead of just pretending.
