I will (A)heal their apostasy,
I will (B)love them freely,
Because My anger has (C)turned away from them.
I will be like the (D)dew to Israel;
He will blossom like the (E)lily,
And he will [a]take root like the cedars of (F)Lebanon.
His shoots will [b]sprout,
His [c]majesty will be like the (G)olive tree,
And his fragrance like the cedars of (H)Lebanon.
Those who (I)live in his shadow
Will [d]again raise (J)grain,
And they will blossom like the vine.
His fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.

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