I will not vent the full fury of my anger;(A)
I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim.(B)
For I am God and not man,
the Holy One among you;(C)
I will not come in rage.[a]
10 They will follow the Lord;(D)
he will roar like a lion.(E)
When he roars,
his children will come trembling from the west.(F)
11 They will be roused like birds from Egypt
and like doves(G) from the land of Assyria.(H)
Then I will settle them in their homes.(I)

This is the Lord’s declaration.
