Hosea 14:8

Hosea 14:8

6 His branches shall¹ spread;
^aHis beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And ^bhis fragrance like Lebanon.

7 ^aThose who dwell under his shadow shall return;
They shall be revived like grain,
And¹ grow like a vine.
Their¹ 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;
^aYour fruit is found in Me.”

9 Who is wise?
Let him understand these things.
Who is prudent?
Let him know them.
For ^athe ways of the Lord are right;
The righteous walk in them,
But transgressors stumble in them.

<< Hosea 14:7

Hosea 14:9 >>

I have heard him - A gracious promise from God of hearing prayers. A green fir - tree - As a weary traveller finds rest and safety under a thick tree, so there is safety and refreshment under the protection of the Lord. From me - Of God alone.
