Hosea 14:4-8
English Standard Version
4 I (A)will heal their apostasy;
(B)I will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
5 (C)I will be like the dew to Israel;
(D)he shall blossom like the lily;
he shall take root like the trees (E)of Lebanon;
6 his shoots shall spread out;
his beauty shall be (F)like the olive,
and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 They shall return and (G)dwell beneath my[a] shadow;
they shall flourish like the grain;
they shall blossom like the vine;
their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 O (H)Ephraim, what have I to do with idols?
It is I who answer and look after you.[b]
I am like an evergreen cypress;
(I)from me comes your fruit.

Hosea 14:4-8
International Standard Version
4 “I will correct their apostasy,
loving them freely,
since my anger will have turned away from them.[a]
5 I will be like the dew to Israel;
Israel[b] will blossom like a lily,
growing roots like the cedars of[c] Lebanon.
6 Israel’s[d] branches will spread out,
and its beauty will be like an olive tree,
with its scent like that of Lebanon.
7 Those who live under its protection[e] will surely return.
Their grain will flourish;
they will blossom like a vine,
and Israel’s[f] scent will be like wine from Lebanon.
8 “Ephraim, what have I in common with idols?
I have listened and will pay attention to him.
I am like a flourishing cypress;
in me will your fruit be found.”
