Read Hosea 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 Gomrrah,
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.
