Hosea 14:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ The Lord says,
“I will forgive them for leaving me
    and will love them freely,
    because I am not angry with them anymore.
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.
⁶ They will be like spreading branches,
    like the beautiful olive trees
    and the sweet-smelling cedars in Lebanon.
