Read in context

Hosea 14:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 Bring your confessions and return to the LORD. Say to Him: “Take away all our iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips.

3 Assyria will not save us, nor will we ride on horses. We will never again say, ‘Our gods!’ to the work of our own hands. For in You the fatherless find compassion.”

4 I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them.

5 I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

6 His shoots will sprout, and his splendor will be like the olive tree, his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.
