Hosea 11:8-9
English Standard Version
8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, O Israel?
(A)How can I make you (B)like Admah?
How can I treat you (C)like Zeboiim?
(D)My heart recoils within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
9 I will not execute my burning anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim;
(E)for I am God and not a man,
(F)the Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come in wrath.[a]

Hosea 11:8-9
King James Version
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.
