8
How shall I deal with thee, Ephraim? shall I protect thee, Israel? what shall I do with thee? I will make thee as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
9
I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within thee: and I will not enter into the city.
10
I will go after the Lord: he shall utter as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
11
They shall be amazed as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, saith the Lord.
12
Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
