8. How can I give you up, O Ephraim?How can I hand you over, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah?How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart recoils within me;my compassion grows warm and tender.
9. I will not execute my burning anger;I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God and not a man, the Holy One in your midst,and I will not come in wrath.
10. They shall go after the Lord; he will roar like a lion;when he roars,his children shall come trembling from the west;
11. they shall come trembling like birds from Egypt,and like doves from the land of Assyria,and I will return them to their homes, declares the Lord.
