Hosea 14:4-6

Good News Translation

“I will bring my people back to me.
I will love them with all my heart;
    no longer am I angry with them.
⁵ I will be to the people of Israel
    like rain in a dry land.
They will blossom like flowers;
    they will be firmly rooted
    like the trees of Lebanon.
⁶ They will be alive with new growth,
    and beautiful like olive trees.
They will be fragrant
    like the cedars of Lebanon.
