rsv Hosea:14:5-8
rsv@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, he shall strike root as the poplar;
rsv@Hosea:14:6 @ his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
rsv@Hosea:14:7 @ They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom as the vine, their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
rsv@Hosea:14:8 @ O E'phraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress, from me comes your fruit.
