Israel’s Future Blessing

⁴I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.

⁵I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

⁶His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

⁷They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive [as] the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

⁸Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found.
