^8 (A)How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, O Israel?
How can I give you over to be like ^(B)Admah?
How can I make you like ^(C)Zeboiim?
My heart is turned over within Me;
^[a]All My compassions are stirred.

^10 (A)Writhe and labor to give birth,
Daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in childbirth;
For now you will ^(B)go out of the city,
Dwell in the field,
And go to Babylon.
^(C)There you will be delivered;
^(D)There Yahweh will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.

¹³ And the earth will become ^(A)desolate because of her inhabitants,
On account of the ^(B)fruit of their deeds.
