Hosea 11:8-10

World English Bible

⁸ “How can I give you up, Ephraim?
    How can I hand you over, Israel?
    How can I make you like Admah?
    How can I make you like Zeboiim?
My heart is turned within me,
    my compassion is aroused.
⁹ I will not execute the fierceness of my anger.
    I will not return to destroy Ephraim,
    for I am God, and not man—the Holy One among you.
    I will not come in wrath.
¹⁰ They will walk after Yahweh,
    who will roar like a lion;
    for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.
