Hosea 14:4-9 - A Promise Of Restoration

4 I will heal their turning away, I loved them largely: for mine anger turned away from him. 5 I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall blossom as the lily and strike his roots as Lebanon. 6 His sprouts shall go, and his strength shall be as the olive tree, and the odor to him as Lebanon. 7 They sitting in his shadow shall turn back; they shall live upon the grain, and they shall blossom as the vine: his remembrance as the wine of Lebanon.

8 Ephraim: What to me yet to images? I humbled, and I will regard him: I as the green cypress From me thy fruit was found.

9 Who being wise, and he shall understand these things? and knowing, and he shall know them? for the ways of Jehovah are straight, and the just shall go in them: and they transgressing shall be weak in them.
