14:1 | O Israel <03478>, return <07725> (8798) unto the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>; for thou hast fallen <03782> (8804) by thine iniquity <05771>. |
14:2 | Take <03947> (8798) with you words <01697>, and turn <07725> (8798) to the LORD <03068>: say <0559> (8798) unto him, Take away <05375> (8799) all iniquity <05771>, and receive <03947> (8798) [us] graciously <02896>: so will we render <07999> (8762) the calves <06499> of our lips <08193>. {receive...: or, give good} |
14:3 | Asshur <0804> shall not save <03467> (8686) us; we will not ride <07392> (8799) upon horses <05483>: neither will we say <0559> (8799) any more to the work <04639> of our hands <03027>, [Ye are] our gods <0430>: for in thee the fatherless <03490> findeth mercy <07355> (8792). |
14:4 | I will heal <07495> (8799) their backsliding <04878>, I will love <0157> (8799) them freely <05071>: for mine anger <0639> is turned away <07725> (8804) from him. |
14:5 | I will be as the dew <02919> unto Israel <03478>: he shall grow <06524> (8799) as the lily <07799>, and cast forth <05221> (8686) his roots <08328> as Lebanon <03844>. {grow: or, blossom} {cast...: Heb. strike} |
14:6 | His branches <03127> shall spread <03212> (8799), and his beauty <01935> shall be as the olive tree <02132>, and his smell <07381> as Lebanon <03844>. {spread: Heb. go} |
14:7 | They that dwell <03427> (8802) under his shadow <06738> shall return <07725> (8799); they shall revive <02421> (8762) [as] the corn <01715>, and grow <06524> (8799) as the vine <01612>: the scent <02143> thereof [shall be] as the wine <03196> of Lebanon <03844>. {grow: or, blossom} {scent: or, memorial} |
14:8 | Ephraim <0669> [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols <06091>? I have heard <06030> (8804) [him], and observed <07789> (8799) him: I [am] like a green <07488> fir tree <01265>. From me is thy fruit <06529> found <04672> (8738). |
14:9 | Who [is] wise <02450>, and he shall understand <0995> (8799) these [things]? prudent <0995> (8737), and he shall know <03045> (8799) them? for the ways <01870> of the LORD <03068> [are] right <03477>, and the just <06662> shall walk <03212> (8799) in them: but the transgressors <06586> (8802) shall fall <03782> (8735) therein. |
