27 Therefore their inhabitants were [a]powerless,
They were shattered and put to shame;
They were like the (A)vegetation of the field and the green grass,
Like (B)grass on the housetops [b]that is scorched before it has grown.
28 But I (C)know your sitting down,
Your going out, your coming in,
And your raging against Me.
29 Because of your raging against Me
And because your (D)complacency has come up to My ears,
I will put My (E)hook in your nose
And My (F)bridle in your lips,
And I will turn you back (G)by the way that you came.
