Hosea 14:6-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. I will be like the dew for Israel:he will blossom like the lily;He will strike root like the Lebanon cedar,

7. and his shoots will go forth.His splendor will be like the olive treeand his fragrance like Lebanon cedar.

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?I have humbled him, but I will take note of him.I am like a verdant cypress tree.From me fruit will be found for you!
