Hosea 14
New International Version
Repentance to Bring Blessing
14 [a]Return,(A) Israel, to the Lord your God.
Your sins(B) have been your downfall!(C)
2 Take words with you
and return to the Lord.
Say to him:
“Forgive(D) all our sins
and receive us graciously,(E)
that we may offer the fruit of our lips.[b](F)
3 Assyria cannot save us;(G)
we will not mount warhorses.(H)
We will never again say ‘Our gods’(I)
to what our own hands have made,(J)
for in you the fatherless(K) find compassion.”
4 “I will heal(L) their waywardness(M)
and love them freely,(N)
for my anger has turned away(O) from them.
5 I will be like the dew(P) to Israel;
he will blossom like a lily.(Q)
Like a cedar of Lebanon(R)
he will send down his roots;(S)
6 his young shoots will grow.
His splendor will be like an olive tree,(T)
his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.(U)
7 People will dwell again in his shade;(V)
they will flourish like the grain,
they will blossom(W) like the vine—
Israel’s fame will be like the wine(X) of Lebanon.(Y)
8 Ephraim, what more have I[c] to do with idols?(Z)
I will answer him and care for him.
I am like a flourishing juniper;(AA)
your fruitfulness comes from me.”

King James Version
14 O israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
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 grow 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 corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

Conversión y perdón de Israel
14 [a]Vuelve, oh Israel, al Señor tu Dios(A),
pues has tropezado a causa de[b] tu iniquidad(B).
2 Tomad con vosotros palabras[c], y volveos al Señor.
Decidle: Quita toda iniquidad(C),
y acéptanos bondadosamente[d],
para que podamos presentar el fruto de nuestros labios[e](D).
3 Asiria no nos salvará,
no montaremos a caballo(E),
y nunca más diremos: «Dios nuestro[f](F)»
a la obra de nuestras manos(G),
pues en ti el huérfano halla misericordia(H).
4 Yo sanaré su apostasía(I),
los amaré generosamente(J),
pues mi ira se ha apartado de ellos(K).
5 Seré como rocío para Israel(L);
florecerá como lirio(M),
y extenderá sus raíces como los cedros del Líbano(N).
6 Brotarán[g] sus renuevos,
y será su esplendor[h] como el del olivo(O),
y su fragancia como la de los cedros del Líbano(P).
7 Los que moran a su sombra(Q),
cultivarán de nuevo el trigo[i](R)
y florecerán como la vid.
Su fama será como la del vino del Líbano.
8 Efraín, ¿qué tengo yo que ver ya con los ídolos(S)?
Yo respondo y te[j] cuido.
Yo soy como un frondoso ciprés(T);
de mí procede tu fruto(U).
9 Quien es sabio, que entienda estas cosas(V);
quien es prudente, que las comprenda.
Porque rectos son los caminos del Señor(W),
y los justos andarán por ellos(X);
pero los transgresores tropezarán en ellos(Y).
