Hosea 11:8

Expanded Bible

⁸ “·Israel [^LEphraim; 4:17], how can I give you up?
    How can I ·give you away [hand you over], Israel?
·I don’t want to [^LHow can I…?] make you like Admah
    or treat you like Zeboiim [^Ctwo cities destroyed together with Sodom and Gomorrah; Gen. 19:24–25; Deut. 4:25–31].
My heart ·beats for you [or has changed within me; or is torn within me],
    and my ·love for you stirs up my pity [compassion is aroused/stirred up/kindled].
