“Ephraim, how could I ever give up on you? Israel, how could I ever let you go? How can I treat you like Admah or deal with you like Zeboiim—cities I destroyed? My heart beats for you, and my compassion rekindles a deep love for you within me. I will certainly not punish you in my burning anger, nor will I turn around and destroy Israel again, for I am God and not a mere human being. I am the Holy One in the midst of you; I will not come to you in my wrath.” “When I, YAHWEH, roar like a lion, my people will march behind me. Yes, I will roar like a lion to gather my own around me! Indeed, when I roar, my children will come trembling from the west. They will return trembling like a bird from Egypt, like a dove from Assyria, and I will settle them in their homes. I, YAHWEH, have spoken.”
