10. Israel’s pride will cause their defeat;they will not turn back to the Lord their Godor look to him for help in all this.
11. Israel has become like a pigeon—easy to fool and stupid.First they call to Egypt for help.Then they run to Assyria.
12. When they go, I will catch them in a net,I will bring them down like birds from the sky;I will punish them countless times for their evil.
13. How terrible for them because they left me!They will be destroyed, because they turned against me.I want to save them,but they have spoken lies against me.
14. They do not call to me from their hearts.They just lie on their beds and cry.They come together to ask for grain and new wine,but they really turn away from me.
