Hosea 14:4-9 - A Promise Of Restoration

4 I will heal their rebellion; I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them. 5 I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall flourish as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. 6 His branches shall spread, and his glory shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. 7 Those that shall sit under his shadow shall return; they shall be given life as the wheat, and they shall flourish as the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

8 Ephraim shall then say, What have I to do any more with idols? I will hear him and gaze upon him; I will be unto him like a green fir tree; of me shall thy fruit be found.

9 Who is wise that he might understand this? and prudent that he might know this? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the rebellious shall fall therein.
