7So My people are bent on turning from Me.
         Though they call them to the One on high,
         None at all exalts Him.

8How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
         How can I surrender you, O Israel?
         How can I make you like Admah?
         How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
         My heart is turned over within Me,
         All My compassions are kindled.

9I will not execute My fierce anger;
         I will not destroy Ephraim again.
         For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst,
         And I will not come in wrath.

10They will walk after the LORD,
         He will roar like a lion;
         Indeed He will roar
         And His sons will come trembling from the west.

11They will come trembling like birds from Egypt
         And like doves from the land of Assyria;
         And I will settle them in their houses, declares the LORD.

12Ephraim surrounds Me with lies
         And the house of Israel with deceit;
         Judah is also unruly against God,
         Even against the Holy One who is faithful.
