They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
