Hosea 11:7-9

21st Century King James Version

⁷ And My people are bent on backsliding from Me; though they called them to the Most High, none at all would exalt Him.

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.
