• Hosea 11:8, 9
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  8 How can I give you up, O Eʹphra·im?+

      How can I hand you over, O Israel?

      How can I treat you like Adʹmah?

      How can I make you like Ze·boiʹim?+

      I have had a change of heart;

      At the same time my compassions are stirred.*+

       9 I will not vent my burning anger.

      I will not destroy Eʹphra·im again,+

      For I am God and not man,

      The Holy One in your midst;

      And I will not come against you in fury.
