Hosea 11:8-9
Legacy Standard Bible
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.
9 I will (D)not execute My burning anger;
I will not make Ephraim a ruin (E)again.
For (F)I am God and not man, the (G)Holy One in your midst,
And I will not come in [b]wrath.

Evangelical Heritage Version
8 How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?[a]
My heart is changed inside me.
All my compassion is stirred up.
9 I will not carry out my burning anger.
I will not destroy Ephraim again,
because I am God, and not man, the Holy One among you.
I will not enter a city.[b]
