✦ MADE SIMPLE

I'm not going to unleash my full anger on you. I'm not coming back to destroy Ephraim. Here's why — I'm God, not a human. I'm the Holy One right here with you, and I won't come to tear down your city.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's mercy wins over his anger because he's divine, not human — and that changes everything.
