Hosea 14:4-9

Webster(i) 4 (14:3)Ashur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. 5 (14:4)I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for my anger is turned away from him. 6 (14:5)I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. 7 (14:6)His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon. 8 (14:7)They that dwell under his shade shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent of it shall be as the wine of Lebanon. 9 (14:8)Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir-tree. From me is thy fruit found.
