How shall I surrender thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me, My compassions are kindled together.\n11:9 I will not execute the fierceness of Mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not come in fury.\n11:10 They shall walk after the Lord, who shall roar like a lion; for He shall roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west.\n11:11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith the Lord.","title":"Jewish Publication Society Bible: Hosea: Hosea Chapter 11","type":"page"}
