Hosea 11:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ I won’t ·punish you in my [unleash my burning] anger,
    and I won’t destroy ·Israel [^LEphraim; 4:17] again.
I am God and not a human;
    I am the Holy One, and I am among you.
    I will not come against ·you in anger [you with terror; or your cities].
¹⁰ They will ·go after [follow] the Lord,
    and he will roar like a lion.
When he roars,
    his children will ·hurry [^Lcome trembling] to him from the west [^CGod’s people would return not only from Babylon and Assyria in the east but from every direction].
¹¹ They will come ·swiftly [or trembling]
    like birds from Egypt
    and like doves from Assyria.
I will settle them again in their homes,”
    says the Lord.
