9. Formal Translation I will not carry out the burning of my anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I am God {El, Merciful Judge} and not a man; the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in wrath to the city. |
9. Dynamic Translation I refuse to unleash my fierce anger; I will not wipe out Ephraim again. Because I am God {El, Divine Rescuer} and not a human; I am the Holy One living among you, and I will not storm into your city to destroy. |
