Hosea 11:8-9
New King James Version
8 “How(A) can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I make you like (B)Admah?
How can I set you like Zeboiim?
My heart [a]churns within Me;
My sympathy is stirred.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of My anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim.
(C)For I am God, and not man,
The Holy One in your midst;
And I will not [b]come with terror.

21st Century King James Version
8 “How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I deliver thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboiim? Mine heart is turned within Me; My repentings 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 enter into the city.
