    over them;
I will bring them down
        like the birds[a] of the heavens;[b]
    I will discipline them

    Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me!

    but they speak lies against me.

    but they wail on their beds;
because of grain and new wine they lacerate[d] themselves;
    they depart from me.
