Hosea 11:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷My people are bent on turning away from me.
To the Most High they call,
but he does not raise them up at all.^[a]

⁸How can I give you up, Ephraim?
    How can I hand you over, O Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
    How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart recoils within me;
    my compassion grows warm and tender.
⁹I will not execute my fierce anger;
    I will not again destroy Ephraim;
for I am God and no mortal,
    the Holy One in your midst,
    and I will not come in wrath.^[b]
