Hosea 14:4-9

4“I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away from them.

5I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon he will send down his roots;

6his young shoots will grow. His splendor will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.

7People will dwell again in his shade; they will flourish like the grain, they will blossom like the vine— Israel’s fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? I will answer him and care for him. I am like a flourishing juniper; your fruitfulness comes from me.”

9Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
