How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? {cf15i how} shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? {cf15i how} shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together.
I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith the LORD.
