1 Return, Israel, to the LORD your God, For you have stumbled because of your wrongdoing. 2 Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to Him, “Take away all guilt And receive us graciously, So that we may present the fruit of our lips. 3 “Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, ‘Our god’ To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy.” 4 I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, Because My anger has turned away from them. 5 I will be like the dew to Israel; He will blossom like the lily, And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon. 6 His shoots will sprout, His majesty will be like the olive tree, And his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon. 7 Those who live in his shadow Will again raise grain, And they will blossom like the vine. His fame will be like the wine of Lebanon. Hosea 14:1-7, New American Standard Bible. Copyright © 2020 by The Lockman Foundation.
