Isaiah 63:8 NASB

For He said, “Surely they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely.” So He became their Savior.

Does this directly contradict verse 10?

But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy and fought against them.

Does God speak in verse 8 in a literal sense (He believed they would not deal falsely with Him) or in a more hypothetical, hopeful sense, even though He knew they would rebel against Him?
