3. The people will not stay in the Lord’s land.Israel will return to being captives as they were in Egypt,and in Assyria they will eat food that they are not allowed to eat.
4. The Israelites will not give offerings of wine to the Lord;they will not give him sacrifices.Their sacrifices will be like food that is eaten at a funeral;it is unclean, and everyone who eats it becomes unclean.Their food will only satisfy their hunger;they cannot sacrifice it in the Temple.
5. What will you do then on the day of feastsand on the day of the Lord’s festival?
6. Even if the people are not destroyed,Egypt will capture them;Memphis will bury them.Weeds will grow over their silver treasures,and thorns will drive them out of their tents.
