“The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.”
The oath that the LORD has sworn indicates the certainty of the coming judgment. The promise that you shall be taken away with hooks and the last of you with fishhooks indicates violent removal and capture, suggesting being dragged away like hooked fish.
