8 “How can I give you up, O Eʹphra·im?+ [How] can I deliver you up, O Israel?+ How can I set you as Adʹmah?+ [How] can I place you like Ze·boiʹim?+ My heart has changed within me;+ at the same time my compassions have grown hot.

18 And Jehovah will be zealous for his land+ and will show compassion upon his people.+

2 Jehovah is a God* exacting exclusive devotion+ and taking vengeance; Jehovah is taking vengeance+ and is disposed to* rage.+ Jehovah is taking vengeance against his adversaries,+ and he is resentful toward his enemies.+

2 “This is what Jehovah of armies+ has said, ‘I will be jealous for Zion with great jealousy,+ and with great rage+ I will be jealous for her.’”
