Hosea 11:9

God Will Have Compassion

⁸ "How can I give up on you, Ephraim? I will deliver you, will I not, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? I can't make you like Zeboim, can I? My heart stirs within me; my compassion also fans into flame! ⁹ I will not act in my anger; I will not return to destroy Ephraim, For I am God, and not a human the Holy One among you so I will not enter the city in anger. ¹⁰ They will go after the LORD, who will roar like a lion; and when he roars, the children will come trembling from the west.
