Hosea 14:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 and his shoots will go forth.(A)
His splendor will be like the olive tree
and his fragrance like Lebanon cedar.(B)
8 Again they will live in his shade;
they will raise grain,
They will blossom like the vine,
and his renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.
9 Ephraim! What more have I to do with idols?(C)
I have humbled him, but I will take note of him.
I am like a verdant cypress tree.[a]
From me fruit will be found for you!
