Hosea 14:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ They will put out fresh shoots;
    their splendor shall be like that of the olive tree
    and their fragrance like the Lebanon cedar.
⁸ They shall again dwell in my shade
    and once again flourish like grain.
They shall blossom like the vine,
    and their fame will be like that of the wine of Lebanon.
⁹ What further dealings does Ephraim have with idols?
    I hear you and look out for your welfare.
I am like an evergreen cypress;
    your prosperity derives from me.
