Israel’s and Judah’s responses

I won’t act on the heat of my anger;
        I won’t return to destroy Ephraim;
    for I am God and not a human being,
        the holy one in your midst;
    I won’t come in harsh judgment.
10 They will walk after the Lord,
        who roars like a lion.
        When he roars,
        his children will come trembling from the west.
11 They will come trembling like a bird,
        and like a dove from the land of Assyria;
        and I will return them to their homes, says the Lord.

For I am God, and not a man(C)
    the Holy One(D) among you.
    I will not come against their cities.
10 They will follow the Lord;
    he will roar(E) like a lion.(F)
When he roars,
    his children will come trembling(G) from the west.(H)
11 They will come from Egypt,
    trembling like sparrows,
    from Assyria,(I) fluttering like doves.(J)
I will settle them in their homes,”(K)
    declares the Lord.
