Hosea 14:6-8
New Century Version
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.
8 Israel, have nothing to do with idols.
I, the Lord, am the one who answers your prayers and watches over you.
I am like a green pine tree;
your blessings come from me.”

His splendor will be like an olive tree,(A)
his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.(B)
7 People will dwell again in his shade;(C)
they will flourish like the grain,
they will blossom(D) like the vine—
Israel’s fame will be like the wine(E) of Lebanon.(F)
8 Ephraim, what more have I[a] to do with idols?(G)
I will answer him and care for him.
I am like a flourishing juniper;(H)
your fruitfulness comes from me.”
