Woe

Even though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them until not one is left.
Indeed, woe (judgment is coming) to them when I look away and withdraw [My blessing] from them!

Woe (judgment is coming) to those who go down to Egypt for help,
Who rely on horses
And trust in chariots because they are many,
And in horsemen because they are very strong,
But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek and consult the Lord!

The crown has fallen from our head [our honor is covered with dust]!
Woe to us, for we have sinned!

“Then it came about after all your wickedness (‘Woe, woe to you!’ says the Lord God),

Fled

The more they [the prophets] called them [to repentance and obedience],
The more they went away from them;
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
And burning incense to the carved images.

“Yet they say to God, ‘Depart from us,
For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.

“They said to God, ‘Depart from us!
What can the Almighty do for us or to us?’

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?

But Jonah ran away to Tarshish to escape from the presence of the Lord [and his duty as His prophet]. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish [the most remote of the Phoenician trading cities]. So he paid the fare and went down into the ship to go with them to Tarshish away from the presence of the Lord.

Though

And you shall remember and thoughtfully consider that you were [once] a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore, I am commanding you these things today.

Now they are Your servants and Your people whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand.

So He saved them from the hand of the one that hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the [Egyptian] enemy.

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

I will help you,” declares the Lord, “and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

But now, this is what the Lord, your Creator says, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel,
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity];
I have called you by name; you are Mine!

For He said, “Be assured, they are My people,
Sons who will not be faithless.”
So He became their Savior [in all their distresses].

“For I brought you up from the land of Egypt
And ransomed you from the house of slavery,
And I sent before you Moses [to lead you], Aaron [the high priest], and Miriam [the prophetess].

For you know that you were not redeemed from your useless [spiritually unproductive] way of life inherited [by tradition] from your forefathers with perishable things like silver and gold,
