⁴ “I will heal their waywardness.
    I will love them freely;
    for my anger is turned away from him.
⁵ I will be like the dew to Israel.
    He will blossom like the lily,
    and send down his roots like Lebanon.
⁶ His branches will spread,
    and his beauty will be like the olive tree,
    and his fragrance like Lebanon.
⁷ Men will dwell in his shade.
    They will revive like the grain,
    and blossom like the vine.
    Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
⁸ Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols?
    I answer, and will take care of him.
    I am like a green cypress tree;
    from me your fruit is found.”
