Read Hosea 11.8--11. In 11.8-11: A promise of restoration. The tone shifts from judgment to salvation. God shows compassion for Israel and promises to return its people to their homes. In verse 8; Admah and Zeboiim are cities which, like Sodom and Gomorrah, symbolize wickedness (Deut 29.23). In verse 10: This image of Israel returning trembling from the west assumes an exilic context and suggests that vv. 10-11 may have been added by a later Judean editor. Comments or Question..
