Hosea 11:8

How can I abandon (let go of) you, Ephraim?
How can I leave you, Israel?
How can I make you like [the city of] Admah?
How can I make you like [the city of] Zeboiim? [Admah, Zeboiim, and Bela were cities mentioned together with Sodom and Gomorrah, see Gen. 14:2]
My heart turns within me (my feelings surge; I change my decision),
all my compassion is aroused (literally: 'my mercy is kindled').
