Hosea 14:3-5
Good News Translation

3 Assyria can never save us, and war horses cannot protect us. We will never again say to our idols that they are our God. O Lord, you show mercy to those who have no one else to turn to.”

The Lord Promises New Life for Israel

4 The Lord says,

“I will bring my people back to me.
I will love them with all my heart;
    no longer am I angry with them.
5 I will be to the people of Israel
    like rain in a dry land.
They will blossom like flowers;
    they will be firmly rooted
    like the trees of Lebanon.
