Hosea 14
- 1O israel, return to the Lord your God. For you have fallen by your wrongdoing.
- 2Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say to him, Take away all wrongdoing, and receive us graciously: so we will offer you the praise of our lips.
- 3Asshur shall not save us. We will not ride on horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, You are our gods. For in you the orphan finds mercy.
- 4I will heal their turning away, I will love them freely. For my anger is turned away from him.
- 5I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.
- 6His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
- 7Those who live under his shadow shall return. They shall revive as the grain, and grow as the vine: its scent shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
- 8Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is your fruit found.
- 9Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? Sensible, and he shall know them? For the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the rebels shall fall in it.
