In context

6A sword will flash through their cities; it will destroy the bars of their gates and consume them in their own plans.

7My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He will by no means exalt them.

8How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred!

9I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man— the Holy One among you— and I will not come in wrath.

10They will walk after the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west.
