Hosea 14:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 I will be like the dew for Israel:(A)
he will blossom like the lily;
He will strike root like the Lebanon cedar,
7 and his shoots will go forth.(B)
His splendor will be like the olive tree
and his fragrance like Lebanon cedar.(C)
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.
Amos 9:13

13 Yes, days are coming—
oracle of the Lord—
When the one who plows shall overtake the one who reaps
and the vintager, the sower of the seed;
The mountains shall drip with the juice of grapes,
and all the hills shall run with it.(A)
