ગુજરાતીહોશિયા ૧૧:૮
હે એફ્રાઇમ, હું શી રીતે તારો ત્યાગ કરું? હે ઇઝરાયલ, હું તને કેવી રીતે બીજાને સોંપી દઉં? હું શી રીતે તારા હાલ આદમાના જેવા કરું? હું શી રીતે સબોઈમની જેમ તારી સાથે વર્તું? મારું મન પાછું પડે છે; મારી બધી કરુણા પ્રબળ થાય છે.
हिन्दीहोशे ११:८
हे एप्रैम, मैं तुझे क्यों छोड़ दूँ? हे इस्राएल, मैं कैसे तुझे शत्रु के वश में कर दूँ? मैं कैसे तुझे अदमा के समान छोड़ दूँ, और सबोयीम के समान कर दूँ? मेरा हृदय तो उलट-पुलट हो गया, मेरा मन स्नेह के मारे पिघल गया है।

8“How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.

9I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God, and not man—the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath.
