“I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man — the Holy One among you — and I will not come in wrath.”
Hosea 11:9 (BSB)
Context Reading
7My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He will by no means exalt them. 8How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred! 9I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man — the Holy One among you — and I will not come in wrath. 10They will walk after the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west. 11They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes, declares the LORD.
