Hosea 14:4-8
Legacy Standard Bible
4 I will (A)heal their turning away from Me;
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 flourish like the (E)lily,
And he will [a]take root like the cedars of (F)Lebanon.
6 His shoots will go forth,
And his splendor 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 [b]again raise (J)grain,
And they will flourish like the vine.
His name of remembrance 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 [c]you.
I am like a luxuriant (L)cypress;
From (M)Me [d]comes your fruit.

and love them freely,(C)

His splendor will be like an olive tree,(I)
his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.(J)
7 People will dwell again in his shade;(K)
they will flourish like the grain,
they will blossom(L) like the vine—
Israel’s fame will be like the wine(M) of Lebanon.(N)
8 Ephraim, what more have I[a] to do with idols?(O)
I will answer him and care for him.
I am like a flourishing juniper;(P)
your fruitfulness comes from me.”
