Hosea 14:4-8

New King James Version

⁴ “I will heal their ^(A)backsliding,
I will ^(B)love them freely,
For My anger has turned away from him.
⁵ I will be like the ^(C)dew to Israel;
He shall ^[a]grow like the lily,
And ^[b]lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
⁶ His branches shall ^[c]spread;
^(D)His beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And ^(E)his fragrance like Lebanon.
^7 (F)Those who dwell under his shadow shall return;
They shall be revived like grain,
And ^[d]grow like a vine.
Their ^[e]scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

⁸ “Ephraim shall say, ‘What have I to do anymore with idols?’
I have heard and observed him.
I am like a green cypress tree;
^(G)Your fruit is found in Me.”
