7. My people are determined to turn from me.Though they call to the Most High,he certainly won’t exalt them.
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 make you like Zeboiim?My heart is turned within me,my compassion is aroused.
9. I will not execute the fierceness of my anger.I will not return to destroy Ephraim:for I am God, and not man; the Holy One among you;and I will not come in wrath.
10. They will walk after the Lord,who will roar like a lion;for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.
