5 I will be like dew to the people of Israel. They will blossom like flowers. They will be firmly rooted like cedars from Lebanon. 6 They will be like growing branches. They will be beautiful like olive trees. They will be fragrant like cedars from Lebanon. 7 They will live again in God's shadow. They will grow like grain. They will blossom like grapevines. They will be as famous as the wines from Lebanon. 8 |The people of Ephraim will have nothing more to do with idols. I will answer them and take care of them. I am like a growing pine tree. Their fruit comes from me.| 9 Wise people will understand these things. A person with insight will recognize them. The LORD's ways are right. Righteous people live by them. Rebellious people stumble over them. Hosea 14:5-9, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
