Indeed, that glory[a] will be carried to Assyria—
    it will become a present for an avenging king.[b]
Ephraim will be disgraced,
    and Israel will become ashamed of its decision.

    like driftwood on the surface of water.

They will call out to the mountains, ‘Cover us!’
    and to the hills, ‘Fall on us!’
