Hosea 11:9-12
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
9 I will not execute my fierce anger,
I will not again destroy E′phraim;
for I am God and not man,
the Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come to destroy.[a]
10 They shall go after the Lord,
he will roar like a lion;
yea, he will roar,
and his sons shall come trembling from the west;
11 they shall come trembling like birds from Egypt,
and like doves from the land of Assyria;
and I will return them to their homes, says the Lord.
12 [b] E′phraim has encompassed me with lies,
and the house of Israel with deceit;
but Judah is still known by[c] God,
and is faithful to the Holy One.
