Hosea 14:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Assurance of Forgiveness

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