13. “When Israel and Judah saw how sick they were,Israel turned to Assyria—to the great king there—but he could neither help nor cure them.
14. I will be like a lion to Israel,like a strong young lion to Judah.I will tear them to pieces!I will carry them off,and no one will be left to rescue them.
15. Then I will return to my placeuntil they admit their guilt and turn to me.For as soon as trouble comes,they will earnestly search for me.”
