They call to (C)Egypt, they go to (D)Assyria.
12 When they go, I will (E)spread My net over them;
I will bring them down like the birds of the sky.
I will (F)discipline them in accordance with the [b]proclamation to their assembly.

11 “The people of Israel have become like silly, witless doves,
    first calling to Egypt, then flying to Assyria for help.
12 But as they fly about,

and bring them down like a bird from the sky.
    I will punish them for all the evil they do.[a]
