Hosea 14:4-9 - A Promise Of Restoration

⁴ I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for my anger is turned away from him. ⁵ I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. ⁶ His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon. ⁷ They that dwell under his shade shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent of it shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

⁸ Ephraim 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 thy fruit found.

⁹ Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall in them.
