Hosea 14:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 I will heal their apostasy,
I will love them freely;
for my anger is turned away from them.
6 I will be like the dew for Israel:(A)
he will blossom like the lily;
He will strike root like the Lebanon cedar,
7 and his shoots will go forth.(B)
His splendor will be like the olive tree
and his fragrance like Lebanon cedar.(C)
