²⁸ Because you rage against me
    and because your insolence has reached my ears,
I will put my hook^(A) in your nose
    and my bit^(B) in your mouth,
and I will make you return^(C)
    by the way you came.’

⁴ But I will put hooks^(A) in your jaws
    and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales.
I will pull you out from among your streams,
    with all the fish sticking to your scales.^(B)

³³ By the way that he came he will return;^(A)
    he will not enter this city,
declares the Lord.

²⁸ His breath^(A) is like a rushing torrent,^(B)
    rising up to the neck.^(C)
He shakes the nations in the sieve^(D) of destruction;
    he places in the jaws of the peoples
    a bit^(E) that leads them astray.

² Can you put a cord through its nose^(A)
    or pierce its jaw with a hook?^(B)
