En minä pane täytäntöön vihani hehkua, en enää hävitä Efraimia. Sillä minä olen Jumala enkä ihminen, olen Pyhä sinun keskelläsi; en tule minä vihan tuimuudessa.
Hosea 11:9
The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #194
194. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 11
1 That Israel, the Lord, was brought down into Egypt, means that they were instructed in the first principles of the church. (1, 13)
2 They were there in natural desire and knowledge [scientia]. (11)
3 They were instructed in cognitions and knowledges [scientiae]. (11, 2)
5-8 When they have become spiritual, they will no longer be natural, since they will thus destroy truths and the understanding of them; (11)
9-11 but from their having been in knowledges [scientiae] they will have intelligence from the Lord. (11)
12 The understanding of the Word was falsified, although the Word is the Lord's. (2)
Hosea 11:9-11
9
I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you; and I will not come in wrath.
10
They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.
11
They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses," says Yahweh.
