Hosea 11:7-9
New King James Version
Hosea 11:7-9
New King James Version
7 My people are bent on (A)backsliding from Me.
Though [a]they call [b]to the Most High,
None at all exalt Him.
8 “How(B) can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I make you like (C)Admah?
How can I set you like Zeboiim?
My heart [c]churns within Me;
My sympathy is stirred.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of My anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim.
(D)For I am God, and not man,
The Holy One in your midst;
And I will not [d]come with terror.
