Hosea 11:8-9
Lexham English Bible
8 How can I give you up, O 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 is disturbed[a] within me;
all[b] my compassions are aroused.
9 I will not execute[c] my fierce anger,[d]
I will not again destroy Ephraim;
because I am God
and not a mortal,[e]
the Holy One in your midst;
and I will not come in wrath.

American Standard Version
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I cast thee off, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboiim? my heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together. 9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not [a]come in wrath.
