Hosea 14:4-7

"The Lord says, "Then I will heal you of your idolatry and faithlessness, and my love will know no bounds, for my anger will be gone forever! I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven. It will blossom like the lily; it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars of Lebanon. Its branches will spread out like those of beautiful olive trees, as fragrant as the forest cedars of Lebanon. My people will return again to the saftey of their land. They will flourish like grain and blossom like grapevines. They will be as fragrant as the wines of Lebanon."
