Hosea 11:7-10 NIV

[7] My people are determined to turn from me. Even though they call me God Most High, I will by no means exalt them. [8] “How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboyim? My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused. [9] I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. For I am God, and not a man—the Holy One among you. I will not come against their cities. [10] They will follow the LORD; he will roar like a lion. When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.
