But the Assyrian shall be his king,
Because they refused to repent.
Devour his districts,
And consume them,
Because of their own counsels.
Though1 they call to the Most High,
None at all exalt Him.
How can I hand you over, Israel?
How can I make you like bAdmah?
How can I set you like Zeboiim?
My heart1 churns within Me;
My sympathy is stirred.
I will not again destroy Ephraim.
aFor I am God, and not man,
The Holy One in your midst;
And I will not1 come with terror.
| << Hosea 11:6 | Hosea 11:8 >> |
