4 I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him. 5 I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus. 6 His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as the smell of Libanus. 7 They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Libanus. 8 What has he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper tree. From me is thy fruit found. 9 Who is wise, and will understand these things? or prudent, and will know them? for the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the ungodly shall fall therein.
