“Will they not return to Egypt(A)
    and will not Assyria(B) rule over them
    because they refuse to repent?(C)
A sword(D) will flash in their cities;
    it will devour(E) their false prophets
    and put an end to their plans.
My people are determined to turn(F) from me.(G)
    Even though they call me God Most High,
    I will by no means exalt them.

He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

Though [a]they call [b]to the Most High,
None at all exalt Him.
