Hosea 14:4-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ I will ^(A)heal their apostasy,
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 blossom like the ^(E)lily,
And he will ^[a]take root like the cedars of ^(F)Lebanon.
⁶ His shoots will ^[b]sprout,
And his ^[c]beauty 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 ^[d]again raise ^(J)grain,
And they will blossom like the vine.
His renown 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 ^[e]you.
I am like a luxuriant ^(L)cypress;
From ^(M)Me comes your fruit.
