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.

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.
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]
