Hosea 11:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ The sword rages in his cities;
    it consumes his false prophets
and devours because of their plans.
⁷     My people are bent on backsliding from me.
To the Most High they call,
    he does not raise them at all.
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.
