Hosea 11:7-8

7My people have decided to turn away from me. That is all that they can think about. They call up to a God who rules above, but he will not help them.

8Israel, I cannot leave you alone. I cannot let you belong to someone else. I cannot destroy you, as I did to Admah and Zeboiim. I now realize that I love you too much. I could never destroy you completely.
