7. My people have made up their mindsto turn away from me.The prophets call them to turn to me,but none of them honors me at all.
8. “Israel, how can I give you up?How can I give you away, Israel?I don’t want to make you like Admahor treat you like Zeboiim.My heart beats for you,and my love for you stirs up my pity.
9. I won’t punish you in my anger,and I won’t destroy Israel again.I am God and not a human;I am the Holy One, and I am among you.I will not come against you in anger.
