HoseaHos 13 HoseaHos JoelJoe 1

² Return, O Israel, to the Lord thy God; for the people have fallen through thine iniquities. ³ Take with you words, and turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that ye may not receive the reward of unrighteousness, but that ye may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit of our lips.

⁴ Assur shall never save us; we will not mount on horseback; we will no longer say to the works of our hands, Our gods. He who is in thee shall pity the orphan.⁵ I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him. ⁶ I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus. ⁷ His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as the smell of Libanus.

⁸ They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Libanus. ⁹ What has he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper tree. From me is thy fruit found.
