Hosea

Uses the prophet's marriage as a symbol for Israel's unfaithfulness and God's faithful love.

Chapter 11

KJV - Hosea 11:8

How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

How can I abandon you, Ephraim? How can I save you, Israel? Why turn you into Admah? Why make you like Zeboim? My heart aches for you; my regret burns strongly.
