God’s Continuing Love for Israel

Hosea 11:7-10
New International Version
7 My people are determined to turn(A) from me.(B)
Even though they call me God Most High,
I will by no means exalt them.
8 “How can I give you up,(C) Ephraim?(D)
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboyim?(E)
My heart is changed within me;
all my compassion(F) is aroused.(G)
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger,(H)
nor will I devastate(I) Ephraim again.
For I am God, and not a man(J)—
the Holy One(K) among you.
I will not come against their cities.
10 They will follow the Lord;
he will roar(L) like a lion.(M)
When he roars,
his children will come trembling(N) from the west.(O)
Hosea 11:7-10
King James Version
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
10 They shall walk after the Lord: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
