Hosea 14:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ I will be like the dew to Israel,
    and they will blossom like a lily.
Like the cedar trees in Lebanon,
    ·their roots will be firm [they will take root].
⁶ ·They will be like spreading branches [^LHis shoots will spread out],
    like the beautiful olive trees
    and the sweet-smelling cedars in Lebanon.
⁷ ·The people of Israel will again live under my protection [or People will again live under Israel’s protection/shade].
    They will ·grow [flourish] like the grain,
they will bloom like a vine,
    and they will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon.
