Hosea 14:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 [a]Assyria will not save us,
nor will we mount horses;(A)
We will never again say, ‘Our god,’
to the work of our hands;
for in you the orphan finds compassion.”(B)
5 I will heal their apostasy,
I will love them freely;
for my anger is turned away from them.
6 I will be like the dew for Israel:(C)
he will blossom like the lily;
He will strike root like the Lebanon cedar,
