Hosea 14 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Take ^H3947 words ^H1697 with you and return ^H7725 to Yahweh ^H3068.

Say ^H559 to Him, “Forgive ^H5375 all ^H3605 iniquity ^H5771

And [fn]take ^H3947 what is good ^H2896,

That we may pay ^H7999 in full ^H7999 [fn]the fruit ^H6529 of our lips ^H8193.

“Assyria ^H804 will not save ^H3467 us;

We will not ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Nor ^H3808 will we say ^H559 again ^H5750, ‘Our god ^H430,’

To the work ^H4639 of our hands ^H3027;

For in You the [fn]orphan ^H3490 finds ^H7355 compassion ^H7355.”

I will heal ^H7495 their turning ^H4878 away from Me;

I will love ^H157 them freely ^H5071,

For My anger ^H639 has turned ^H7725 away ^H7725 from them.

I will be like the dew ^H2919 to Israel ^H3478;

He will flourish ^H6524 like the lily ^H7799,

And he will [fn]take ^H5221 root ^H8328 like the cedars of Lebanon ^H3844.

His shoots ^H3127 will go ^H1980 forth,

And his splendor ^H1935 will be like the olive ^H2132 tree ^H2132

And his fragrance ^H7381 like the cedars of Lebanon ^H3844.

Those who live ^H3427 in his shadow ^H6738

Will [fn]again ^H7725 raise ^H2421 grain ^H1715,

And they will flourish ^H6524 like the vine ^H1612.

His name of remembrance ^H2143 will be like the wine ^H3196 of Lebanon ^H3844.

O Ephraim ^H669, what ^H4100 more ^H5750 have I to do with idols ^H6091?

It is I who answer ^H6030 and look ^H7789 after ^H7789 [fn]you.

I am like a luxuriant ^H7488 cypress ^H1265;

From Me [fn]comes ^H4672 your fruit ^H6529.

Whoever ^H4310 is wise ^H2450, so let him discern ^H995 these ^H428 things ^H428;

Whoever is discerning ^H995, let him know ^H3045 them.

For the ways ^H1870 of Yahweh ^H3068 are right ^H3477,

And the righteous ^H6662 will walk ^H1980 in them,

But transgressors ^H6586 will stumble ^H3782 in them.
