Hosea 11:7-9 and his people shall cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ and his people shall cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him. ⁸ How shall I deal with thee, Ephraim? how shall I protect thee, Israel? what shall I do with thee? I will make thee as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited. ⁹ I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within thee: and I will not enter into the city.
