For this is what the Lord God says:
‘At first my people went down to Egypt to reside there,(A)
then Assyria oppressed them without cause.[a]
So now what have I here’ –
this is the Lord’s declaration –
‘that my people are taken away for nothing?
Its rulers wail’ –
this is the Lord’s declaration –
‘and my name is continually blasphemed all day long.(B)
Therefore my people will know my name;(C)
therefore they will know on that day
that I am he who says,
“Here I am.” ’
