5They shall not return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to return [to me].

6And the sword shall fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.

7And my people are bent on backsliding from me: though they call them to [him that is] on high, none at all will exalt [him].

8How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I cast thee off, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboiim? my heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together.

9I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not come in wrath.

10They shall walk after Jehovah, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west.

11They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.
