They shall return and (A)dwell beneath my[a] shadow;
    they shall flourish like the grain;
they shall blossom like the vine;
    their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

O (B)Ephraim, what have I to do with idols?
    It is I who answer and look after you.[b]
I am like an evergreen cypress;
    (C)from me comes your fruit.

(D)Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
    whoever is discerning, let him know them;
for the ways of the Lord are right,
    and (E)the upright walk in them,
    (F)but transgressors stumble in them.
