Hosea

Hosea 14:5–7

⁵I will be like the dew to Israel;

he will blossom like the lily

and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶His shoots will sprout,

and his splendor will be like the olive tree,

his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.

⁷They will return and dwell in his shade;

they will grow grain and blossom like the vine.

His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.
