27 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
    are dismayed and confounded,
and have become like plants of the field
    and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
    blighted[a] before it is grown.

28 “‘I know your sitting down
    and your going out and coming in,
    and your raging against me.
29 (A)Because you have raged against me
    and your complacency has come to my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
    and my bit in your mouth,
and (B)I will turn you back on the way
    by which you came.’
