Hosea 14:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Assurance of Forgiveness

⁴I will heal their disloyalty;
    I will love them freely,
    for my anger has turned from them.
⁵I will be like the dew to Israel;
    he shall blossom like the lily,
    he shall strike root like the forests of Lebanon.^[a]
⁶His shoots shall spread out;
    his beauty shall be like the olive tree,
    and his fragrance like that of Lebanon.
