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.
aHe will roar like a lion.
When He roars,
Then His sons shall come trembling from the west;
aLike a dove from the land of Assyria.
bAnd I will let them dwell in their houses,”
Says the Lord.

Hosea 11:8
Give thee up - To utter destruction. Admah and Zeboim were two of the four cities which were destroyed with fire from heaven. My repentings - Not that God is ever fluctuating or unresolved; but these are expressions after the manner of men, to shew what severity Israel had deserved, and yet how divine grace would be glorified in sparing them.
