Hosea 14:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Once again my people will live
    in the safety of my shade.
    They will grow like grain.
They will bloom like vines.
    And Israel will be as famous
    as wine from Lebanon.
⁸ Ephraim will have nothing more to do with other gods.
    I will answer the prayers of my people.
    I will take good care of them.
I will be like a healthy juniper tree to them.
    All the fruit they bear will come from me.”
