Hosea 14:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 They will again dwell[a] in my[b] shadow;
they will grow grain
and they will blossom like the plant vine;
his fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 O Ephraim, what have I to do[c] with idols?
I myself have answered and looked after you.[d]
I am like a luxuriant cypress;
your fruit[e] comes from me.
9 Who is wise that he can understand these things?
Who is discerning that he knows them?
The ways of Yahweh are right,
and the righteous walk in them;
but transgressors stumble in them.
