¹⁶ Like a stubborn heifer,
    Israel is stubborn;
can the Lord now feed them
    like a lamb in a broad pasture?

¹⁶ They ^(A)return, but not upward;^[a]
    they are ^(B)like a treacherous bow;
their princes shall fall by the sword
    because of ^(C)the insolence of their tongue.
This shall be their derision ^(D)in the land of Egypt.
