ULT HOS Chapter 14

◄ HOS 14 ║ ©

14 Return, O Israel, to Yahweh your God,

for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.

2 Take with you words and return to Yahweh.

Say to him, “Take away all iniquity

and accept what is good,

so that we may offer the fruit of our lips.[fn]

3 Assyria will not save us;

we will not ride on horses.

Neither will we say anymore to the work of our hands,

‘Our God,’

for in you the fatherless finds compassion.”

4 “I will heal their apostasy;

I will love them freely,

for my anger has turned away from them.

5 I will be like the dew to Israel;

he will blossom like the lily

and take root like the cedar of Lebanon.

6 His shoots will sprout;

his beauty will be like the olive trees,

and his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.

7 Those who live in his shadow will return;

they will revive like the grain

and blossom like the vine.

His fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8 O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols?

It is I who answer and look after him.

I am like a luxuriant cypress;

from me comes your fruit.”

9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;

whoever is discerning, let him know them.

For the ways of Yahweh are right,

and the righteous will walk in them,

but transgressors will stumble in them.
