Hosea 14:5-8

5I will be like the 1dew to Israel; He will blossom like the 2lily, And he will 3take root like the cedars of 4Lebanon.6His shoots will 5sprout, And his 6beauty will be like the 7olive tree And his fragrance like the cedars of 8Lebanon.7Those who 9live in his shadow Will 10again raise 11grain, And they will blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8O Ephraim, what more have I to do with 12idols? It is I who answer and look after 13you. I am like a luxuriant 14cypress; From 15Me comes your fruit.
