7. So My people are bent on turning from Me. Although they are being called upwards, none will rise up.
8. “How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I surrender you, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I set you as Zeboim? My heart is turning over within Me. My compassions are kindled.
9. I will not vent My fierce anger. I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God—not a man— the Holy One in the midst of you, and I will not come in fury.”
10. They will walk after Adonai. He will roar like a lion. Indeed, He will roar and the children will come trembling from the west.
11. “They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, like a dove out of the land of Assyria, and I will settle them in their houses.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
