6 They burn like an oven;their hearts burn inside them.All night long their anger is low,but when morning comes, it becomes a roaring fire.
7 All these people are as hot as an oven;they burn up their rulers.All their kings fall,and no one calls on me.
8 “Israel mixes with other nations;he is like a pancake cooked only on one side.
9 Foreign nations have eaten up his strength,but he doesn’t know it.Israel is weak and feeble, like an old man,but he doesn’t know it.
10 Israel’s pride will cause their defeat;they will not turn back to the Lord their Godor look to him for help in all this.
11 Israel has become like a pigeon—easy to fool and stupid.First they call to Egypt for help.Then they run to Assyria.
12 When they go, I will catch them in a net,I will bring them down like birds from the sky;I will punish them countless times for their evil.
