How can I give you up, Ephraim?(A)
How can I surrender you, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?(B)
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?(C)
I have had a change of heart;
My compassion is stirred!
I will not vent the full fury of My anger;(D)
I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim.(E)
For I am God and not man,
the Holy One among you;(F)
I will not come in rage.[a]
10 They will follow the Lord;(G)
He will roar like a lion.(H)
When He roars,
His children will come trembling from the west.(I)
