Hosea 14:5-7

New Century Version

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.
⁶ They will be like spreading branches,
    like the beautiful olive trees
    and 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,
    and they will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon.
