And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
The bow is Israel's military power and strength, and God will break it in the valley of Jezreel. The prophecy foretells Israel's coming captivity. Israel's departures from God, including idolatry and conformity to the world, are spiritual adultery. The prophecy warns against wicked alliances. The prophecy to which this declaration belongs also holds teaching about the future.
