4 I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.
5 He will not return to the land of Egypt, but Assur himself will be the king over him, because they were not willing to be converted.
6 The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.
7 And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.
8 How will I provide for you, Ephraim; how will I protect you, Israel? How will I provide for you as for Adam; will I set you like Zeboiim? My heart has changed within me; together with my regret, it has been stirred up.
