9I will not carry out my fierce anger,

nor will I turn and devastate Ephraim.

For I am God, and not man—

the Holy One among you.

I will not come in wrath.^c

10They will follow 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,

like doves from Assyria.

I will settle them in their homes,”

declares the Lord.

Israel’s Sin

12Ephraim has surrounded me with lies,

the house of Israel with deceit.

And Judah is unruly against God,

even against the faithful Holy One.
