Hosea 11:8-9

New American Standard Bible

⁸^(A)How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, Israel?
How can I ^[a]make you like ^(B)Admah?
How can I treat you like ^(C)Zeboiim?
My heart is turned over within Me,
^[b]All My compassions are kindled.
⁹I will ^(D)not carry out My fierce anger;
I will not destroy Ephraim ^(E)again.
For ^(F)I am God and not a man, the ^(G)Holy One in your midst,
And I will not come in ^[c]wrath.
