Hosea 14 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Hos 14:1(LXX 14:2) Return, O Israel, to the Lord thy God; for the people have fallen through thine iniquities.
Hos 14:2(LXX 14:3) Take with you words, and turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that ye may not receive the reward of unrighteousness, but that ye may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit of our lips.
Hos 14:3(LXX 14:4) Assur shall never save us; we will not mount on horseback; we will no longer say to the works of our hands, Our gods. He who is in thee shall pity the orphan.
Hos 14:4(LXX 14:5) I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him.
Hos 14:5(LXX 14:6) I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus.
Hos 14:6(LXX 14:7) His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as the smell of Libanus.
Hos 14:7(LXX 14:8) They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Libanus.
Hos 14:8(LXX 14:9) What has he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper tree. From me is thy fruit found.
Hos 14:9(LXX 14:10) Who is wise, and will understand these things? or prudent, and will know them? for the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the ungodly shall fall therein.
