I will not execute the fierceness of My anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim.
(A)For I am God, and not man,
The Holy One in your midst;
And I will not [a]come with terror.

10 “They shall walk after the Lord.
(B)He will roar like a lion.
When He roars,
Then His sons shall come trembling from the west;
11 They shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt,
(C)Like a dove from the land of Assyria.
(D)And I will let them dwell in their houses,”
Says the Lord.
