Hosea 14

Israel’s Future Blessing

112ReturnH7725, O IsraelH3478, to the LordH3068 your GodH430, For you have stumbledH3782 3because of your 4iniquityH5771.2TakeH3947 wordsH1697 with you and returnH7725 to the LordH3068. SayH559 to Him, “5TakeH5375 away allH3605 iniquityH5771 And 6receiveH3947 us graciouslyH2896, That we may 7presentH7999 8the fruitH6499 of our lipsH8193.3AssyriaH804 will not saveH3467 us, We will 9not rideH7392 on horsesH5483; NorH3808 will we sayH559 againH5750, ‘10Our godH430,’ To the 11workH4639 of our handsH3027; For in 12You the 13orphanH3490 findsH7355 mercyH7355.”

4I will 14healH7495 their apostasyH4878, I will 15loveH157 them freelyH5071, For My angerH639 has 16turnedH7725 awayH7725 from them.5I will be like the 17dewH2919 to IsraelH3478; He will blossomH6524 like the 18lilyH7799, And he will 19takeH5221 rootH8328 like the cedars of 20LebanonH3844.6His shootsH3127 will 21sproutH1980, And his 22beautyH1935 will be like the 23oliveH2132 treeH2132 And his fragranceH7381 like the cedars of 24LebanonH3844.7Those who 25liveH3427 in his shadowH6738 Will 26againH7725 raiseH2421 27grainH1715, And they will blossomH6524 like the vineH1612. His renownH2143 will be like the wineH3196 of LebanonH3844.

8O EphraimH669, whatH4100 moreH5750 have I to do with 28idolsH6091? It is I who answerH6030 and lookH7789 after 29you. I am like a luxuriantH7488 30cypressH1265; From 31Me comesH4672 your fruitH6529.

932WhoeverH4310 is wiseH2450, let him understandH995 theseH428 thingsH428; Whoever is discerningH995, let him knowH3045 them. For the 33waysH1870 of the LordH3068 are rightH3477, And the 34righteousH6662 will walkH1980 in them, But 35transgressorsH6586 will stumbleH3782 in them.
