⁴ I will ^(A)heal their turning away from Me;
I will ^(B)love them freely,
For My anger has ^(C)turned away from them.
⁵ I will be like the ^(D)dew to Israel;
He will flourish like the ^(E)lily,
And he will ^[a]take root like the cedars of ^(F)Lebanon.
⁶ His shoots will go forth,
And his splendor will be like the ^(G)olive tree
And his fragrance like the cedars of ^(H)Lebanon.
⁷ Those who ^(I)live in his shadow
Will ^[b]again raise ^(J)grain,
And they will flourish like the vine.
His name of remembrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.

⁸ O Ephraim, what more have I to do with ^(K)idols?
It is I who answer and look after ^[c]you.
I am like a luxuriant ^(L)cypress;
From ^(M)Me ^[d]comes your fruit.

^9 (N)Whoever is wise, so let him discern these things;
Whoever is discerning, let him know them.
For the ^(O)ways of Yahweh are right,
And the ^(P)righteous will walk in them,
But ^(Q)transgressors will stumble in them.
