Hosea 14:8-9
King James Version
8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

English Standard Version
8 O (A)Ephraim, what have I to do with idols?
It is I who answer and look after you.[a]
I am like an evergreen cypress;
(B)from me comes your fruit.
9 (C)Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
whoever is discerning, let him know them;
for the ways of the Lord are right,
and (D)the upright walk in them,
(E)but transgressors stumble in them.
