Hosea 14:8-9
Expanded Bible

8 ·Israel [L Ephraim; 4:17], have nothing to do with idols.
    I, the Lord, am the one who answers your prayers and ·watches over [cares for] you.
I am like a ·green [flourishing; evergreen] ·pine tree [or juniper; or cypress];
    your ·blessings [L fruit] come from me.”

9 ·A wise person will know these things [L Who is wise? Let him understand these things],
    ·and an understanding person will take them to heart [L Who is discerning? Let him understand them].
The Lord’s ways are right.
    ·Good people [The righteous] ·live by following [L walk in] them,
but ·those who turn against God [the rebellious/transgressors] ·die because of them [L stumble in them].
