Hosea 14:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Assyria won’t save us;
        we won’t ride upon horses;
    we will no longer say, ‘Our God,’
        to the work of our hands.
    In you the orphan finds compassion.”

⁴ I will heal their faithlessness;
                I will love them freely,
        for my anger has turned from them.
⁵ I will be like the dew to Israel;
        he will blossom like the lily;
        he will cast out his roots like the forests of Lebanon.^[a]
