19  ^vGod is not man, that he should ^wlie,

or a son of man, that he should ^xchange his mind.

^yHas he said, and will he not do it?

Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

9  I will not execute my burning anger;

I will not again destroy Ephraim;

for ^zI am God and not a man,

the Holy One in your midst,

and I will not come in wrath.¹
