Hosea 14:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ I will be like the dew to Israel.
    It will blossom like a lily.
Like the cedar trees in Lebanon,
    its roots will be firm.
⁶ The people will be like spreading branches.
    They will be like the beautiful olive trees.
    They will be like the sweet-smelling cedars in Lebanon.
⁷ The people of Israel will again live under my protection.
    They will grow like the grain.
They will bloom like a vine.
    They will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon.
