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.

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 make you like Zeboiim?
My heart is turned within me,
my compassion is aroused.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger.
I will not return to destroy Ephraim:
for I am God, and not man; the Holy One among you;
and I will not come in wrath.
