Hosea 14:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ I will be to the people of Israel
    like rain in a dry land.
They will blossom like flowers;
    they will be firmly rooted
    like the trees of Lebanon.
⁶ They will be alive with new growth,
    and beautiful like olive trees.
They will be fragrant
    like the cedars of Lebanon.
⁷ Once again they will live under my protection.
They will grow crops of grain
    and be fruitful like a vineyard.
    They will be as famous as the wine of Lebanon.
