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 Zeboyim?My heart churns within Me;My compassion is stirred.
9. I will not execute the fierceness of My anger;I will not again destroy Ephraim.For I am God, and not man,the Holy One in your midst,and I will not come in wrath.
10. They will walk after the Lord,who roars like a lion.When He roars,His children will come trembling from the west.
11. They will come tremblinglike a bird out of Egyptand like a dove from the land of Assyria.And I will let them dwell in their houses,says the Lord.
