Hosea 11:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “And My people are bent to rebellion against Me. Though they called them to the Most High, no one at all would exalt.

⁸ “How shall I give you up, Ephraim? Shall I deliver you, Israel? How shall I make you as Admah? Shall I set you as Zeboim? My Heart has turned within Me. My compassions are kindled.

⁹ “I will not execute the fierceness of My wrath. I will not return to destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of you. And I will not enter into the city.
