7:13 Woe to them! For they have fled from me!
Destruction to them! For they have rebelled against me!
I want to deliver 1 them,
but they have lied to me.
8:1 Sound the alarm! 2
An eagle 3 looms over the temple of the Lord!
For they have broken their covenant with me, 4
and have rebelled against my law.
