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
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.
