Hosea 11:8-9
New Living Translation
8 “Oh, how can I give you up, Israel?
How can I let you go?
How can I destroy you like Admah
or demolish you like Zeboiim?
My heart is torn within me,
and my compassion overflows.
9 No, I will not unleash my fierce anger.
I will not completely destroy Israel,
for I am God and not a mere mortal.
I am the Holy One living among you,
and I will not come to destroy.

Hosea 11:8-9
New International Version
8 “How can I give you up,(A) Ephraim?(B)
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboyim?(C)
My heart is changed within me;
all my compassion(D) is aroused.(E)
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger,(F)
nor will I devastate(G) Ephraim again.
For I am God, and not a man(H)—
the Holy One(I) among you.
I will not come against their cities.
