Hosea11:8
8. as Admah ... Zeboim--among the cities, including Sodom and Gomorrah, irretrievably overthrown (De 29:23).
heart is turned within me--with the deepest compassion, so as not to execute My threat (La 1:20; compare Ge 43:30; 1Ki 3:26). So the phrase is used of a new turn given to the feeling (Psa 105:25).
repentings--God speaks according to human modes of thought (Nu 23:19). God's seeming change is in accordance with His secret everlasting purpose of love to His people, to magnify His grace after their desperate rebellion.
