Hosea 11:8-9
Christian Standard Bible
8 How can I give you up, Ephraim?(A)
How can I surrender you, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?(B)
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?(C)
I have had a change of heart;
my compassion is stirred!
9 I will not vent the full fury of my anger;(D)
I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim.(E)
For I am God and not man,
the Holy One among you;(F)
I will not come in rage.[a]

Hosea 11:8-9
Common English Bible
Divine compassion
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?
My heart winces within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
Israel’s and Judah’s responses
9 I won’t act on the heat of my anger;
I won’t return to destroy Ephraim;
for I am God and not a human being,
the holy one in your midst;
I won’t come in harsh judgment.
