12 As they are going, I will spread My net over them;(A)
I will bring them down like birds of the sky.
I will discipline them in accordance
with the news that reaches[a] their assembly.

The Lord’s Second Lament

13 Woe to them,(B) for they fled from Me;(C)
destruction to them, for they rebelled against Me!
Though I want to redeem them,(D)
they speak lies against Me.
14 They do not cry to Me from their hearts;
rather, they wail on their beds.
They slash themselves[b](E) for grain and new wine;(F)
they turn away from Me.
