"I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from him.
5
I will be like the dew to Israel; He shall grow like the lily, And lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
6
His branches shall spread; His beauty shall be like an olive tree, And his fragrance like Lebanon.
7
Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; They shall be revived like grain, And grow like a vine. Their 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; Your fruit is found in Me."
9
Who is wise? Let him understand these things. Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right; The righteous walk in them, But transgressors stumble in them.
