Hosea 14:4-8

American Standard Version

⁴ I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him. ⁵ I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. ⁶ His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon. ⁷ They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine: ^[a]the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. ^8 [b]Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found.
