Hos 11:8-9

God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

Hosea 11:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

Hosea 11:8-9 Expanded Bible (EXB)

8 “•Israel [L Ephraim;4:17], how can I give you up?
How can I •give you away [hand you over], Israel?
•I don’t want to[L How can I…?]make you like Admah
or treat you like Zeboiim [C two cities destroyed together with Sodom and Gomorrah; Gen. 19:24–25; Deut. 4:25–31].
My heart •beats for you [or has changed within me; or is torn within me],
and my •love for you stirs up my pity[compassion is aroused/stirred up/kindled].
9 I won’t •punish you in my [unleash my burning] anger,
and I won’t destroy •Israel[L Ephraim; 4:17]again.
I am God and not a human;
I am the Holy One, and I am among you.
I will not come against •you in anger [you with terror; or your cities].

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

8 God did not want to give up Israel but they didn’t want Him. God knew they would come back to Him but also loved them to not punish them but doing so was justice and God is also just.

9 God was going to save a portion, this was His mercy. God would allow Israel to rise again.
