Hosea 14:4-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ I will heal their disloyalty;
    I will love them freely,
    for my anger has turned from them.^(A)
5 I will be like the dew to Israel;
    he shall blossom like the lily;
    he shall strike root like the forests of Lebanon.^[a](B)
6 His shoots shall spread out;
    his beauty shall be like the olive tree
    and his fragrance like that of Lebanon.^(C)
7 They shall again live beneath my^[b] shadow;
    they shall flourish as a garden;^[c]
they shall blossom like the vine;
    their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.^(D)
