    trembling like sparrows,
    from Assyria,(E) fluttering like doves.(F)
I will settle them in their homes,”(G)

10     They will go after Yahweh;
        he roars like a lion.
When he roars,
    his children will come trembling
        from the sea.[a]
11 They will tremble like birds[b] from Egypt,
    and like doves[c] from the land of Assyria;
and I will let them return[d] to their homes—
    a declaration of Yahweh.
