Hosea 11:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ “How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboim?
I have changed my mind.
I am deeply moved.
⁹ I will not act on my burning anger.
I will not destroy Ephraim again.
I am God, not a human.
I am the Holy One among you,
and I will not come to you in anger.

¹⁰ “My people will follow me when I roar like a lion.
When I roar, my children will come trembling from the west.
