Reversal of the Exodus: Return to Egypt and Exile in Assyria When Israel was a young man, I loved him like a son, and I summoned my son out of Egypt.
But the more I summoned them, the farther they departed from me. They sacrificed to the Baal idols and burned incense to images.
Yet it was I who led Ephraim, I took them by the arm; but they did not acknowledge that I had healed them.
I led them with leather cords, with leather ropes; I lifted the yoke from their neck, and gently fed them.
They will return to Egypt! Assyria will rule over them because they refuse to repent!
A sword will flash in their cities, it will destroy the bars of their city gates, and will devour them in their fortresses.
