Context of Hosea 11:10

8“How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboim? I have changed my mind. I am deeply moved. 9I will not act on my burning anger. I will not destroy Ephraim again. I am God, not a human. I am the Holy One among you, and I will not come to you in anger. “My people will follow me when I roar like a lion. When I roar, my children will come trembling from the west. 11They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from Assyria. I will settle them in their own homes,” declares the Lord. 12“Ephraim surrounds me with lies. The nation of Israel surrounds me with deceit.” Judah rebels against God, against the Holy One who is faithful.

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.
