5 Will they not return to the land of Egypt and be ruled by Assyria because they refused to repent?

6 A sword will flash through their cities; it will destroy the bars of their gates and consume them in their own plans.

7 My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He will by no means exalt them.

8 How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred!
