Hosea 14

  1. \13:16\Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
  2. \14:1\O Israel, return to the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thy iniquity.
  3. \14:2\Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
  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.
  10. \14:9\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 in them.
