Hosea 11:7-9
International Children’s Bible
7 My people have made up their minds
to turn away from me.
The prophets call them to turn to me.
But none of them honors me at all.
8 “Israel, I don’t want to give you up.
I don’t want to go away and leave you.
I don’t want to make you like Admah.
I don’t want to treat you like Zeboiim.[a]
My heart beats for you.
My love for you stirs up my pity.
9 I won’t punish you in my anger.
I won’t destroy Israel again.
I am God and not man.
I am the Holy One, and I am among you.
I will not come against you in anger.
