katapi HOME Hosea 14:4-8 - the LORD promises new life for Israel.  Hs.14.4-8

14 4 I will heal their faithlessness;
I will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
14 5 I will be as the dew to Israel;
he shall blossom as the lily,
he shall strike root as the poplar;
14 6 his shoots shall spread out;
his beauty shall be like the olive,
and his fragrance like Lebanon.
14 7 They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow,
they shall flourish as a garden;
they shall blossom as the vine,
their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
14 8 O Ephraim, what have I to do with idols?
It is I who answer and look after you.
I am like an evergreen cypress,
from me comes your fruit.
