Hosea 14:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ The Lord says,
“I will forgive them for leaving me.
    I will love them freely.
    I am not angry with them anymore.
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.
