Hosea 14:7-9
International Standard Version
7 Those who live under its protection[a] will surely return.
Their grain will flourish;
they will blossom like a vine,
and Israel’s[b] scent will be like wine from Lebanon.
8 “Ephraim, what have I in common with idols?
I have listened and will pay attention to him.
I am like a flourishing cypress;
in me will your fruit be found.”
Concluding Counsel
9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things.
Whoever is discerning, let him know them.
For the ways of the Lord are right:
the righteous follow his example,
but the rebellious stumble in them.
