Hosea 14:4-8
New King James Version
4 “I will heal their (A)backsliding,
I will (B)love them freely,
For My anger has turned away from him.
5 I will be like the (C)dew to Israel;
He shall [a]grow like the lily,
And [b]lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
6 His branches shall [c]spread;
(D)His beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And (E)his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 (F)Those who dwell under his shadow shall return;
They shall be revived like grain,
And [d]grow like a vine.
Their [e]scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 “Ephraim shall say, ‘What have I to do anymore with idols?’
I have heard and observed him.
I am like a green cypress tree;
(G)Your fruit is found in Me.”

American Standard Version
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 blossom 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 grain, and blossom as the vine: [a]the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. 8 [b]Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found.
