He shall1 grow like the lily,
And1 lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
aHis beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And bhis fragrance like Lebanon.
They shall be revived like grain,
And1 grow like a vine.
Their1 scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
I have heard and observed him.
I am like a green cypress tree;
aYour fruit is found in Me.”
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
They that dwell - As many as unite to the church, shall dwell under these spreading trees. Return - Revive and recover strength. As the corn - Which dies ere it lives to bring forth fruit. As the vine - Which in winter seems dead, but yet life, sap, and a fructifying virtue is in it. The scent thereof - The savour of it to God and good men shall be pleasing as the scent of the delicious wines of Lebanon.
