8. How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I surrender you, Israel?How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? I have had a change of heart;My compassion is stirred!
9. I will not vent the full fury of My anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man,the Holy One among you; I will not come in rage.
10. They will follow the Lord; He will roar like a lion. When He roars,His children will come trembling from the west.
