For you have stumbled and fallen [visited by tragedy], because of your sin.

So that we may present the fruit of our lips (gratitude).

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 14:3 -

“Assyria will not save us;

We will not ride on horses [relying on military might],

Nor will we say again to [the idols who are] the work of our hands,

‘You are our gods.’

For in You [O LORD] the orphan finds love and compassion and mercy.”

I will love them freely,

For My anger has turned away from Israel.

And they will blossom like the vine.

His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

It is I who have answered and will care for you and watch over you.

I am like a luxuriant cypress tree;

With Me your fruit is found [which is to nourish you].

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 14:9 -

Whoever is [spiritually] wise, let him understand these things;

Whoever is [spiritually] discerning and understanding, let him know them.

For the ways of the LORD are right,

And the righteous will walk in them,

But transgressors will stumble and fall in them.
