6 His young shoots will grow; his splendor will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon. 7 People will reside again in his shade; they will plant and harvest grain in abundance. They will blossom like a vine, and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon. 8 O Ephraim, I do not want to have anything to do with idols anymore! I will answer him and care for him. I am like a luxuriant cypress tree; your fruitfulness comes from me! 9 Who is wise? Let him discern these things! Who is discerning? Let him understand them! For the ways of the LORD are right; the godly walk in them, but in them the rebellious stumble. Hosea 14:6-9, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
