14 For Yahweh will judge his people, And have compassion on his servants.
For Yahweh will judge his people, Repent himself for his servants; When he sees that [their] power is gone, There is none [remaining], shut up or left at large.

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.
Yahweh relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says the Lord Yahweh.
