Hosea 11:8-10
Good News Translation
8 (A)“How can I give you up, Israel?
How can I abandon you?
Could I ever destroy you as I did Admah,
or treat you as I did Zeboiim?
My heart will not let me do it!
My love for you is too strong.
9 I will not punish you in my anger;
I will not destroy Israel again.
For I am God and not a mere human being.
I, the Holy One, am with you.
I will not come to you in anger.
10 “My people will follow me when I roar like a lion at their enemies. They will hurry to me from the west.

New International Version
8 “How can I give you up,(A) Ephraim?(B)
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboyim?(C)
My heart is changed within me;
all my compassion(D) is aroused.(E)
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger,(F)
nor will I devastate(G) Ephraim again.
For I am God, and not a man(H)—
the Holy One(I) among you.
I will not come against their cities.
10 They will follow the Lord;
he will roar(J) like a lion.(K)
When he roars,
his children will come trembling(L) from the west.(M)
