The Hebrew root for "return" (שׁוּב, shuv) often implies a turning back or a reversal. In this context, it suggests a regression to a state of spiritual and physical bondage.

These words sound like an announcement that the season of Divine grace, so long extended to that sin-laden people, had at length expired; and that on account of their stubborn and on-grateful rebellion against Jehovah they would be forced, to go into exile and become subject to the monarch of Assyria.(1) They had been threatened with a return to Egypt and its bondage in Hosea 8:13, "They shall return to Egypt;" and Hosea 9:3, "Ephraim shall return to Egypt;" vet now God, without any change of purpose, changes his mode of procedure, not allowing them to return to Egypt, but dooming them to a worse bondage under the Assyrians.

However desirous of returning to Egypt, they would have neither the power nor the privilege of doing so.
