They will come trembling and hurriedly like birds from Egypt
And like doves from the land of Assyria;
And I will settle them in their houses [in the land of their inheritance], declares the Lord.

And the house of Israel with deceit;
Judah is also unruly against God,
Even against the faithful Holy One.
