ASV_Strong : Hosea 14
1. O Israel[H3478], return[H7725] unto Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430]; for thou hast fallen[H3782] by thine iniquity[H5771].
2. Take[H3947] with you words[H1697], and return[H7725] unto Jehovah[H3068]: say[H559] unto him[H5375], Take away all iniquity[H5771], and accept[H3947] that which is good[H2896]: so will we render[H7999] as bullocks[H6499] the offering of our lips[H8193].
3. Assyria[H804] shall not save[H3467] us[H7392]; we will not ride upon horses[H5483]; neither will we say[H559] any more to the work[H4639] of our hands[H3027], Ye are our gods[H430]; for in thee the fatherless[H3490] findeth mercy[H7355].
4. I will heal[H7495] their backsliding[H4878], I will love[H157] them freely[H5071]; for mine anger[H639] is turned away from him[H7725].
5. I will be as the dew[H2919] unto Israel[H3478]; he shall blossom[H6524] as the lily[H7799], and cast forth[H5221] his roots[H8328] as Lebanon[H3844].
6. His branches[H3127] shall spread[H3212], and his beauty[H1935] shall be as the olive-tree[H2132], and his smell[H7381] as Lebanon[H3844].
7. They that dwell[H3427] under his shadow[H6738] shall return[H7725]; they shall revive[H2421] as the grain[H1715], and blossom[H6524] as the vine[H1612]: the scent[H2143] thereof shall be as the wine[H3196] of Lebanon[H3844].
8. Ephraim[H669] shall say[H6091], What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered[H6030], and will regard[H7789] him[H7488]: I am like a green fir-tree[H1265]; from me is thy fruit[H6529] found[H4672].
9. Who is wise[H2450], that he may understand[H995] these things[H995]? prudent, that he may know[H3045] them[H1870]? for the ways of Jehovah[H3068] are right[H3477], and the just[H6662] shall walk[H3212] in them[H6586]; but transgressors shall fall therein[H3782].
