Hosea 11:9

God Will Have Compassion

⁸ How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, O Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart is turned over within Me,
All My compassions are kindled.
⁹ I will not execute My fierce anger;
I will not destroy Ephraim again.
For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst,
And I will not come in wrath.
¹⁰ They will walk after the Lord,
He will roar like a lion;
Indeed He will roar
And His sons will come trembling from the west.
