I will not execute[a] my fierce anger,[b]
    I will not again destroy Ephraim;
because I am God
    and not a mortal,[c]
    the Holy One in your midst;
and I will not come in wrath.
10     They will go after Yahweh;
        he roars like a lion.
When he roars,
    his children will come trembling
        from the sea.[d]
11 They will tremble like birds[e] from Egypt,
    and like doves[f] from the land of Assyria;
and I will let them return[g] to their homes—
    a declaration of Yahweh.
