Hosea 11:7 in Context — Hosea 11

5 [Israel] não voltará à terra do Egito, mas o assírio será seu rei, porque recusam se converter.

6 E a espada moverá sobre suas cidades; destruirá os ferrolhos de seus portões, e acabará com seus planos.

7 Porém meu povo insiste em se desviar de mim; ainda que chamem ao Altíssimo, ninguém de fato o exalta.

8 Como posso te abandonar, ó Efraim? Como posso te entregar, ó Israel? Como posso fazer de ti como Admá, [ou] te tornar como a Zeboim? Meu coração se comove dentro de mim, todas as minhas compaixões estão acesas.

9 Não executarei o furor de minha ira, não voltarei a destruir Efraim; porque eu sou Deus, e não homem, o Santo no meio de ti; e não entrarei na cidade.
