Hosea 14:8

A Promise Of Restoration

⁷ Those who live in his shadow will raise grain again. They will blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon. ⁸ O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols?
It is I who answer and look after you.
I am like a luxuriant cypress;
From Me comes your fruit.
⁹ Let the wise understand these things. Let the discerning know them. For the ways of Jehovah are right. And the righteous will walk in them. But transgressors will stumble in them.
