Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Hosea:
Chapter 14
1. O
ISRAEL, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine
iniquity.
2. Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away
all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of
our lips.
2. Asshur 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.
4. I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine
anger is turned away from him.
5. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast
forth his roots as Lebanon.
6. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree,
and his smell as Lebanon.
7. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as
the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine
of Lebanon.
8. E-phra-im 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.
9. Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he
shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall
walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
