Hosea 11:7-9
English Standard Version Anglicised
7 My people are bent (A)on turning away from me,
and though (B)they call out to the Most High,
he shall not raise them up at all.
8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, O Israel?
(C)How can I make you (D)like Admah?
How can I treat you (E)like Zeboiim?
(F)My heart recoils within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
9 I will not execute my burning anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim;
(G)for I am God and not a man,
(H)the Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come in wrath.[a]

Hosea 11:7-9
New International Version
7 My people are determined to turn(A) from me.(B)
Even though they call me God Most High,
I will by no means exalt them.
8 “How can I give you up,(C) Ephraim?(D)
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboyim?(E)
My heart is changed within me;
all my compassion(F) is aroused.(G)
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger,(H)
nor will I devastate(I) Ephraim again.
For I am God, and not a man(J)—
the Holy One(K) among you.
I will not come against their cities.
