4. I will heal their rebellion; I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
5. I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall flourish as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6. His branches shall spread, and his glory shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7. Those that shall sit under his shadow shall return; they shall be given life as the wheat, and they shall flourish as the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8. Ephraim shall then say, What have I to do any more with idols? I will hear him and gaze upon him; I will be unto him like a green fir tree; of me shall thy fruit be found.
9. Who is wise that he might understand this? and prudent that he might know this? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the rebellious shall fall therein.
