Hosea 14:7-9
New Century Version
7 The people of Israel will again live under my protection.
They will grow like the grain,
they will bloom like a vine,
and they will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Israel, have nothing to do with idols.
I, the Lord, am the one who answers your prayers and watches over you.
I am like a green pine tree;
your blessings come from me.”
9 A wise person will know these things,
and an understanding person will take them to heart.
The Lord’s ways are right.
Good people live by following them,
but those who turn against God die because of them.
Hosea 14:7-9
New International Version
7 People will dwell again in his shade;(A)
they will flourish like the grain,
they will blossom(B) like the vine—
Israel’s fame will be like the wine(C) of Lebanon.(D)
8 Ephraim, what more have I[a] to do with idols?(E)
I will answer him and care for him.
I am like a flourishing juniper;(F)
your fruitfulness comes from me.”
