I will (A)heal their turning away from Me;
I will (B)love them freely,
For My anger has (C)turned away from them.
I will be like the (D)dew to Israel;
He will flourish like the (E)lily,
And he will [a]take root like the cedars of (F)Lebanon.
His shoots will go forth,
And his splendor will be like the (G)olive tree
And his fragrance like the cedars of (H)Lebanon.
Those who (I)live in his shadow
Will [b]again raise (J)grain,
And they will flourish like the vine.
His name of remembrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.

O Ephraim, what more have I to do with (K)idols?
It is I who answer and look after [c]you.
I am like a luxuriant (L)cypress;
From (M)Me [d]comes your fruit.
