Hosea 14:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ The Lord says,
“I will forgive ·them for leaving me [their apostasy/waywardness]
    and will love them freely,
    because ·I am not angry with them anymore [^Lmy anger has turned away from them].
⁵ I will be like the dew to Israel,
    and they will blossom like a lily.
Like the cedar trees in Lebanon,
    ·their roots will be firm [they will take root].
⁶ ·They will be like spreading branches [^LHis shoots will spread out],
    like the beautiful olive trees
    and the sweet-smelling cedars in Lebanon.
