Hosea 14:4

Israel, return to the LORD your God;

for you have fallen because of your sin.

Take words with you, and return to the LORD.

Tell him, “Forgive all our sins,

and accept that which is good;

so we offer bulls as we vowed of our lips.

Assyria can’t save us.

We won’t ride on horses;

neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’

for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”

I will be like the dew to Israel.

He will blossom like the lily,

and send down his roots like Lebanon.

His branches will spread,

and his beauty will be like the olive tree,

and his fragrance like Lebanon.

Men will dwell in his shade.

They will revive like the grain,

and blossom like the vine.

Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
