Hosea 14:8-9
New Century Version

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.
