Hosea 14:7-9
New King James Version
7 (A)Those who dwell under his shadow shall return;
They shall be revived like grain,
And [a]grow like a vine.
Their [b]scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 “Ephraim shall say, ‘What have I to do anymore with idols?’
I have heard and observed him.
I am like a green cypress tree;
(B)Your fruit is found in Me.”
9 Who is wise?
Let him understand these things.
Who is prudent?
Let him know them.
For (C)the ways of the Lord are right;
The righteous walk in them,
But transgressors stumble in them.
