Hosea 14:4

A Promise Of Restoration

³
“Assyria will not save us;
We will not ride on horses [relying on military might],
Nor will we say again to [the idols who are] the work of our hands,
‘You are our gods.’
For in You [O Lord] the orphan finds love and compassion and mercy.” ⁴ 
I will heal their apostasy and faithlessness;
I will love them freely,
For My anger has turned away from Israel.
⁵
I shall be like the dew to Israel;
He will blossom like the lily,
And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
