8. “How can I give you up, Ephraim?How can I hand you over, Israel?How can I make you like Admah?How can I treat you like Zeboim?I have changed my mind.I am deeply moved.
9. I will not act on my burning anger.I will not destroy Ephraim again.I am God, not a human.I am the Holy One among you,and I will not come to you in anger.
10. “My people will follow me when I roar like a lion.When I roar, my children will come trembling from the west.
