They will return, but to no avail Heb. עָל. They returned to Egypt, but it did not avail them. Therefore, עָל is vowelized with a “kamatz.” Comp. (II Sam. 23:1) “The word of the man raised up high (עָל),” which is an expression of raising up and is not attached to the following word.
Rashi
they were like a deceitful bow which, when one wishes to shoot with it toward the north, shoots toward the south.
Rashi

Rashi
from the fury of their tongue The harsh language with which they replied to Jeremiah.
