Remarkably, it is not a change in the situation of God’s people, but a change in God! You would expect the Lord to eventually put an end to it. But what is happening? Something is taking place in God’s heart. God says, My heart recoils within me.
Very humanly speaking. But it is as if a landslide is taking place in God’s heart. His anger is defeated. His love wins. Against all odds.
8 Que ferai-je de toi, Ephraïm? Dois-je te livrer, Israël? Te traiterai-je comme Adma? Te rendrai-je semblable à Tseboïm? Mon cœur s'agite au-dedans de moi, Toutes mes compassions sont émues.
