Context of Hosea 11:10

8Israel, I cannot leave you alone. I cannot let you belong to someone else. I cannot destroy you, as I did to Admah and Zeboiim. I now realize that I love you too much. I could never destroy you completely. 9I am very angry with you, but I will not punish you so much. I will never destroy my people, Ephraim. This is because I am God. I am not a human. I am the Holy God who is with you. I will not come to destroy you in my anger. I will roar loudly like a lion, so that my children come to follow me. When I roar, my children will shake with fear, as they come from the west. 11They will return to me, like birds that fly from Egypt. They will come like doves that fly from Assyria. They will be afraid, as they return. I will bring them back to live in their homes again.’ That is what the Lord says. 12The Lord says, ‘Ephraim's people are always speaking lies to me. Yes, Israel's descendants try to deceive me. But Judah's people have stayed with God as their guide. They continue to be faithful to the Holy God.’

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-12Verses 8-12 God is slow to anger, and is loth to abandon a people to utter ruin, who have been called by his name. When God was to give a sacrifice for sin, and a Saviour for sinners, he spared not his own Son, that he might spare us. This is the language of the day of his patience; but when men sin that away, then the great day of his wrath comes. Man's compassions are nothing in comparison with the tender mercies of our God, whose thoughts and ways, in…Read the comment
