Hosea 11:8-12

8“Oh, how can I give you up, Israel? How can I let you go? How can I destroy you like Admah or demolish you like Zeboiim? My heart is torn within me, and my compassion overflows.

9No, I will not unleash my fierce anger. I will not completely destroy Israel, for I am God and not a mere mortal. I am the Holy One living among you, and I will not come to destroy.

10For someday the people will follow me. I, the Lord, will roar like a lion. And when I roar, my people will return trembling from the west.

11Like a flock of birds, they will come from Egypt. Trembling like doves, they will return from Assyria. And I will bring them home again,” says the Lord.

12Israel surrounds me with lies and deceit, but Judah still obeys God and is faithful to the Holy One.
