Yahweh is speaking.
their glory will fly away like a bird
The people of Ephraim, or the northern kingdom of Israel, will lose everything that makes other nations respect them. Their glory will quickly disappear, as a bird flies away. AT: "their glory will be like a bird that flies away from them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
when I turn away from them
When God stops helping the northern kingdom, it will be as if he physically turned away from them. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
