³ And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

¹⁵ And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

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.
