Hosea 14 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Israel’s Future Blessing

Hos 14:1

[fn]Return, Israel, to the LORD your God,

For you have stumbled [fn]because of your wrongdoing.

Hos 14:2

Take words with you and return to the LORD.

Say to Him, “Take away all guilt

And [fn]receive us graciously,

So that we may present [fn]the fruit of our lips.

Hos 14:3

“Assyria will not save us,

We will not ride on horses;

Nor will we say again, ‘Our god

To the work of our hands;

For in You the [fn]orphan finds mercy.”

Hos 14:4

I will heal their apostasy,

I will love them freely,

Because My anger has turned away from them.

Hos 14:5

I will be like the dew to Israel;

He will blossom like the lily,

And he will [fn]take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

Hos 14:6

His shoots will [fn]sprout,

His [fn]majesty will be like the olive tree,

And his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.

Hos 14:7

Those who live in his shadow

Will [fn]again raise grain,

And they will blossom like the vine.

His fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.

Hos 14:8

Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols?

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

I am like a luxuriant juniper;

From Me [fn]comes your fruit.

Hos 14:9

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;

Whoever is discerning, let him know them.

For the ways of the LORD are right,

And the righteous will walk in them,

But wrongdoers will stumble in them.
