^8 (A)How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, Israel?
How can I ^[a]make you like ^(B)Admah?
How can I treat you like ^(C)Zeboiim?
My heart is turned over within Me,
^[b]All My compassions are kindled.

^10 (A)Writhe and scream,
Daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in childbirth;
For now you will ^(B)go out of the city,
Live in the field,
And go to Babylon.
^(C)There you will be rescued,
^(D)There the Lord will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.

¹³ And the earth will become a ^(A)wasteland because of her inhabitants,
On account of the ^(B)fruit of their deeds.
