Hosea 11:7-12
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
7 My people are bent on turning away from me.
To the Most High they call,
but he does not raise them up at all.[a]
8 How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, O Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart recoils within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
9 I will not execute my fierce anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim;
for I am God and no mortal,
the Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come in wrath.[b]
10 They shall go after the Lord,
who roars like a lion;
when he roars,
his children shall come trembling from the west.
11 They shall come trembling like birds from Egypt,
and like doves from the land of Assyria;
and I will return them to their homes, says the Lord.
12 [c] Ephraim has surrounded me with lies,
and the house of Israel with deceit;
but Judah still walks[d] with God,
and is faithful to the Holy One.
