Authorized (King James) Version
Hosea 11:7-9
Authorized (King James) Version
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me:
though they called them to the most High,
none at all would exalt him.
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
how shall I deliver thee, Israel?
how shall I make thee as Admah?
how shall I set thee as Zeboim?
mine heart is turned within me,
my repentings are kindled together.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger,
I will not return to destroy Ephraim:
for I am God, and not man;
the Holy One in the midst of thee:
and I will not enter into the city.

Hosea 11:7-9
New International Version
7 My people are determined to turn(A) from me.(B)
Even though they call me God Most High,
I will by no means exalt them.
8 “How can I give you up,(C) Ephraim?(D)
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboyim?(E)
My heart is changed within me;
all my compassion(F) is aroused.(G)
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger,(H)
nor will I devastate(I) Ephraim again.
For I am God, and not a man(J)—
the Holy One(K) among you.
I will not come against their cities.
